Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1598: Chapter 985: True Sun Fire, Molten Rock Divine General (Part 2)

Terror!

Extreme terror!

Yang Zhenshan was already exerting himself to fly rapidly, yet he could still feel the terrifying and scorching force pushing him from behind.

He didn’t know how long he’d been flying until he felt the push from behind had weakened significantly. Only then did he glance backward.

That glance almost made Yang Zhenshan collapse.

All he saw was red gold flames, twelve figures bathed in those flames. Not to mention the air, even the space was twisted by burning.

The originally gray sky had now turned into an ink-black canvas.​

It was a Void rift, no, not a rift, but a giant hole.

The red gold flames were sucked into the hole connecting the Void, condensing into a brilliant fire ring at the eerie black edge. The red gold flames and Void chaos wrestled at the edge, burning the space into constant tremors, emitting a groan from overwhelming pressure.

Yang Zhenshan’s eyes nearly bulged out.

The sky had fallen!

The sky had truly fallen!

Of course, a fallen sky is not as terrible as imagined; it just opened a hole. The Heavenly Dao has its restoring power. Once the Sun Cave Heaven completely merges into the main world, both rifts and holes can be quickly repaired.

However, this means the complete fall of the Sun Cave Heaven might shorten significantly.

He glanced around and saw figures still fleeing frantically, sighing inwardly.

Ten days of bitter fighting can’t compare to this raging fire.

He wondered how many people had been turned to ash by the True Sun Fire just now.

The dull roar continued to roll, waves of hot sea of fire and air currents following one after the other, Yang Zhenshan feeling the burning sting on his face finally shook his head slightly.

“We must leave now!”

Standing behind him, Hong Fuxiu and Kou Ta nodded repeatedly, pale-faced.

Hong Fuxiu practiced a cultivation technique with a Fire Attribute and even nurtured Nanming Lihuo, yet she was still utterly terrified by the True Sun Fire’s fearsome might.

Neither the True Sun Fire nor the Molten Rock Divine General was something Foundation Establishment cultivators could handle; it was far beyond their level.

Luckily, they hadn’t ventured near the center of the Sea of Scorching Sun; otherwise, Yang Zhenshan could only guarantee his own escape.

Glancing again at the golden light ring where flames and the Void clashed, Yang Zhenshan didn’t hesitate, grabbing Kou Ta and Hong Fuxiu’s arms before disappearing in a flash.

As expected, they were pulled into the Void once more.

Once bitten, twice shy, this time Yang Zhenshan didn’t linger in the Void, directly returning to the Spirit Origin Land.

…

Wuzhen Taoist Palace, Qi Hall.

Yang Zhenshan and the other two appeared in the hall full of Dao Rhyme, where Xuanzhen was meditating with eyes closed. He opened his eyes.

“How’s Yun Xiao?” Yang Zhenshan first asked.

“Same as before!” Xuanzhen stood up, replied, then greeted Kou Ta and Hong Fuxiu: “You two have worked hard, Dao friends!”

“Oh, so it’s Xuanzhen, Dao friend. Hmm, what is this place?” Kou Ta questioned curiously, surveying the hall’s interior.

Xuanzhen looked at Yang Zhenshan, who nodded faintly.

Since he’d brought Kou Ta and Hong Fuxiu back, he naturally intended to explain the Spirit Origin Land to them.

Yun Xiao, Kou Ta, and Hong Fuxiu were all people he valued, and he’d long wanted to recruit them.

This entry into the Sun Cave Heaven was also a trial for them.

There’s no need to elaborate on the trial’s result.

All three had gained Yang Zhenshan’s trust, so he decided not to hide the existence of the Spirit Origin Land from them anymore.

“This is the Spirit Origin Land, or you may understand it as Spirit Origin Grotto Heaven!” Xuanzhen explained.

“Spirit Origin Grotto Heaven? Grotto Heaven!” Hong Fuxiu exclaimed in disbelief, looking at Yang Zhenshan.

Kou Ta also stared in shock at Yang Zhenshan.

Yang Zhenshan smiled, “I’d like to invite both of you to join the Spirit Origin Land; what do you think?”

“Join the Spirit Origin Land, this~~”

Hong Fuxiu looked at Kou Ta, and the two exchanged a glance.

Due to their trust in Yang Zhenshan, they weren’t averse to joining the Spirit Origin Land; however, they didn’t know what the Spirit Origin Land was, so they struggled to decide.

Yang Zhenshan noticed their hesitation and smiled, “No need to rush your decision. Xuanzhen, take them around the Spirit Origin Land. I’ll go check on Yun Xiao!”

He knew it would be quite abrupt to have Kou Ta and Hong Fuxiu make a decision now, so he planned to let them first explore the Spirit Origin Land.

Xuanzhen responded, leading the still stunned two out of Qi Hall.

Yang Zhenshan then turned towards the back hall of Qi Hall, finding Yun Xiao lying on the bed.

Yun Xiao’s condition had improved significantly; his aura had stabilized, no longer chaotic and disordered like before.

Yang Zhenshan came forward to examine briefly, finding Yun Xiao’s mana operating at an extremely slow rate. The medicinal power of the Nine Tripod Divine Pill still lingered, filling his meridians, acupoints, Dantian, and Qi Sea, but no longer roiled restlessly.

However, Yun Xiao will likely take a long time to completely digest the Nine Tripod Divine Pill’s medicinal power.

It could take one or two years, maybe three or five, or even possibly up to eight or ten.

The exact time depends on how long it takes for Yun Xiao’s Divine Soul to advance.

Currently, the more pressing issue than digesting the Nine Tripod Divine Pill’s medicinal power is using it to advance the Divine Soul.

Forming the Fake Pill doesn’t require undergoing a Heavenly Tribulation but does need overcoming physical, mana, and Divine Soul barriers.

The physical barrier was resolved by Yang Zhenshan previously infusing vitality without reservation, so it has already been crossed; next, they just need to ensure ample vitality.

The mana barrier, where the Nine Tripod Divine Pill’s power is enough for Yun Xiao to pass, yet digesting the power will take time.

Lastly is the Divine Soul barrier, where the Nine Tripod Divine Pill aids in the Divine Soul’s enhancement but needs other external aids for a successful advance.

Condensing a Fake Pill using a Divine Pill is a shortcut, though it doesn’t guarantee absolute safety, as it could face many risks.

Yang Zhenshan watched Yun Xiao ponder for a moment, then took a Dao Intent Sacred Lotus and fed it to Yun Xiao.

The Dao Intent Sacred Lotus could temporarily heighten perception, making one more attuned to the Heaven and Earth Great Dao, while also bolstering Divine Soul Power.

However, the enhancement it provides to Divine Soul Power is weak, not as effective as Forget River Dew or Heart Burning Fruit, which are Jie Dan Spirit Objects.

Yet, the Dao Intent Sacred Lotus has the advantage of being incredibly mild.

Yun Xiao now needs not a great tonifying object but something gentle, enhancing the Divine Soul without disrupting his mana operations.

Therefore, the Dao Intent Sacred Lotus seeds are very suitable for him now.

“Older brother, this is all I can do; you must work hard!”

Watching Yun Xiao in deep consciousness, Yang Zhenshan murmured somewhat helplessly.
