Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1809: Chapter 1095: Path of Spirit Giving_2

The so-called opening a new path refers to reaching the level of a Taoist Master. As long as this level is not achieved, the path is considered incomplete, and future generations can continue to develop it.

Therefore, if the Demon Emperor can truly spread this path across the world, allowing countless cultivators to practice it, he can still become the Authority Master through it.

"You don’t need to understand; you just need to complete this matter!" the Demon Emperor didn’t explain much.

Li Zhuo thought for a moment and then nodded slightly, "No problem!"

This isn’t a difficult task. The Demon Emperor didn’t specify how many people must practice; it only required spreading this cultivation technique, which is simple and only needs more jade slips to be distributed.

Li Zhuo took the jade slips away and moved quickly. It wasn’t long before many jade slips recording the Path of Spirit Giving appeared in the workshops around the Wanhua Mountain Range.

How many people have practiced it is unknown, but the cultivation method for the Path of Spirit Giving spread quickly.

Even Yang Zhenshan received a jade slip.

Yang Zhenshan had just emerged from his meditation chamber when Yu Qingyi arrived with a jade slip.

This time, his retreat was highly successful, as he managed to elevate the grade of the Seven Treasures Soul Suppressing Tower to the level of a Spiritual Artifact in less than two months.

It’s not that he can rapidly increase the grade of a magical treasure; rather, the Seven Treasures Soul Suppressing Tower had long reached the critical point for advancement.

When Yang Zhenshan acquired the Seven Treasures Soul Suppressing Tower, it was already a top-grade magical treasure.

Over the years, Yang Zhenshan has been nurturing the Seven Treasures Soul Suppressing Tower, and although he did not intentionally enhance its grade, it reached the critical point for advancement.

This time, he spent two bottles of Dao Spirit Potion in one go, and thus the Seven Treasures Soul Suppressing Tower successfully advanced.

After upgrading to a Spiritual Artifact, the functions of the Seven Treasures Soul Suppressing Tower have strengthened a lot, but it is still a newborn Artifact Spirit, and its power is currently not very strong.

"Take a look at this." Yu Qingyi handed the jade slip to Yang Zhenshan.

Yang Zhenshan examined the contents of the jade slip and showed an astonished expression.

The Path of Spirit Giving isn’t considered a strange cultivation technique. There are many more mystical cultivation techniques and Dao Intent in the world, but he was surprised because this cultivation technique is extremely complete. It not only includes a complete cultivation method but also involves the Divine Dao Intent.

The Spirit Source Land now possesses numerous Immortal Cultivation Techniques, most of which only cultivate to Core Formation. After Core Formation, cultivators need to comprehend by themselves, at most referencing some cultivation insights.

These cultivation insights are usually compiled separately, rarely recorded together with cultivation techniques.

It’s not that the two can’t be recorded together, but it isn’t appropriate.

Because cultivation insights have strong personal attributes—they are one’s own comprehension. Others can reference them, but cannot regard them as a standard for cultivation.

To avoid misleading others, very few people record their cultivation insights with cultivation techniques.

Yet, this cultivation technique not only records cultivation insights with the technique but also explains one’s insights in detail, especially regarding the Divine Dao Intent, almost recording all personal comprehension within.

Although there is some sense of rambling from Yang Zhenshan’s perspective, it’s undeniable that the person who recorded this jade slip was very meticulous.

"Where did this come from?" Yang Zhenshan asked.

"Qingyu brought it back from the Sea of Spirit!" Yu Qingyi replied.

Currently, the Yang Family Blessed Land remains closed, but the Spirit Source Land regular organizes fleets to the Sea of Spirit to procure low-level resources.

"What do you think of this cultivation technique?" Yu Qingyi asked.

Yang Zhenshan pondered for a while and said, "It’s very good, a rare cultivation technique."

The excellence of the Spiritual Awakening Technique is undeniable, not inferior to those common cultivation techniques.

"Can I cultivate this technique?" Yu Qingyi asked.

"You want to practice it?" Yang Zhenshan asked in surprise.

"Yes, I find this technique quite good!" Yu Qingyi said.

Yang Zhenshan stroked his beard, thinking deeply. Currently, Yu Qingyi is transitioning from True Yuan to Mana. At this stage, she can be considered either a Martial Artist or an Immortal Cultivator, but compared to actual Immortal Cultivators, her Mana is much less.

In terms of both quantity and quality, she does not match cultivators at the Peak of Foundation Establishment. She’s even below those at the Early-stage Foundation Establishment.

But this doesn’t prevent her from practicing Immortal Cultivation Techniques or trying to comprehend Divine Dao Intent.

"If you cultivate this technique, it might slow down your cultivation speed!" Yang Zhenshan said.

"My cultivation has hit a bottleneck; speed doesn’t matter!" Yu Qingyi said somewhat helplessly.

The Martial Arts reaching the Divine Soul Realm is considered its limit. The Divine Soul Realm focuses on Divine Soul cultivation because there’s no room for further growth, forcing concentration on the soul.

Regarding solely Divine Soul cultivation, Yu Qingyi wouldn’t need to spend too much time and energy, which is why she constantly assists others in safeguarding their cultivation.

Yu Qingyi continued, "This cultivation technique emphasizes the Divine Soul and aids in understanding Heaven and Earth Dao Intent. I feel it’s suitable for me, and others can also practice it."

Yang Zhenshan reviewed the cultivation technique again. As Yu Qingyi mentioned, this technique assists in understanding Heaven and Earth Dao Intent.

Within it is a Chapter called the Spirit-Observing Chapter: observing mountains, you should notice their pulse’s rises and falls; when the pulse flows smoothly, the soul is relaxed; when blocked, the soul is oppressed; observing stones, discern their texture’s depth; when clear, the soul is pure; when turbid, the soul is dull; observing grass, feel its energy’s prosperity and decay; with flourishing energy, the soul is lively; with waning energy, the soul is silent;​ observing wood, listen to its heart’s quiet and motion; with tranquil heart, the soul is stable; with moving heart, the soul leaps.​​

Understand its texture to know its nature, listen to its sound to grasp its meaning, thus achieving connection with the spirit.

This cultivation technique contains methods for Divine Soul cultivation and comprehending the ways of Heaven and Earth.

The so-called comprehension of Heaven and Earth doesn’t focus on a specific Dao intent but seeks one’s Dao intent in the universe.

Undoubtedly, this cultivation technique is very suitable for those yet to comprehend Dao intent.

"Then go ahead and practice it; others who wish to practice can also do so!" Yang Zhenshan found no issues within the cultivation technique and agreed accordingly.

"Alright, I’ll give it a try first." Yu Qingyi beamed with delight. She genuinely favored this cultivation technique, unsure why but felt it suited her just upon seeing the contents in the jade slip.

Later, Yu Qingyi chatted with Yang Zhenshan for a while, seeking his guidance on many aspects of the Spiritual Awakening Technique. Although Yang Zhenshan hadn’t practiced it, his experience and insights could still offer Yu Qingyi significant advice.

Once Yu Qingyi grasped the technique’s contents, she went into retreat for cultivation.

Meanwhile, Yang Zhenshan proceeded to the Pill Hall, where Zhang Hexuan and Yang Zongyuan were concocting pills. Yang Zhenshan intended to mentor them, passing on the expertise he accrued over the years.

Within the Pill Hall were not only Zhang Hexuan and Yang Zongyuan, but also several of their disciples. Zhang Hexuan currently has four disciples, all of whom are Alchemists, the highest cultivation being at the Peak of Qi Refining.

Yang Zongyuan only took in two disciples, both from the Yang family’s lineage.

Perhaps due to Yang Zhenshan being an Alchemist, many Yang family members have pursued the path of Alchemy.

Nevertheless, among the Yang family members, only two possess considerable talent for Alchemy—Yang Qingtao and Yang Qingyu, ensuring the Yang family has capable successors.

As Yang Zhenshan was explaining Alchemy, the returning fleet from Hengshan Sect encountered trouble.

In the western part of the Hengshan Mountain Range, precisely east of the Wanhua Mountain Range, the vast sky saw a fiery red Cloud Boat swiftly slicing across.

Aboard the Cloud Boat, Yun Xiao lazily sat in a pavilion, sword in arms, resting with closed eyes.

Suddenly, he jolts awake, gaze sharp as he looks downward.

Though he can’t see through the Cloud Boat’s cabin, his Spiritual Sense locks onto the dozen streaks of radiance below.

Rising like a swimming fish, he swiftly exits the pavilion, appearing on the bow deck, overlooking the rapidly approaching radiance below.

"True Monarch, what’s wrong?" Kou Ta, seeing him emerge, asked with some curiosity.

Yet, his question no longer needed Yun Xiao’s answer because just as he spoke, his Spiritual Sense detected the dozen breaths approaching their Flying Boat.
