Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1816: Chapter 1099: Reunion with the Five-tailed Vicious

Yang Zhenshan took a deep breath, tens of thousands of Spirit Trees of Second-Order and above, this is no small number.

The Spirit Trees in the Spirit Source Land are too numerous to count, with countless Spiritual Fruit Trees, yet most of them are First-order. The number of Second-Order and Third-order Spirit Trees is not large.

Counting the saplings, tens of thousands could be gathered, but the saplings have not grown, so they cannot be considered Spirit Trees.

"Newly born Treemen don’t actually have strong combat abilities, they need to learn and train; look at it, it can’t even walk properly!"

"If you want to build an army of over ten thousand Treemen, it requires not only a large number of Spirit Trees but also a huge amount of time and effort to teach them."

"Moreover, commanding such an army of Treemen requires a powerful Divine Soul; instead of me imbuing them with spirit, the spirit is shared between us. The spirituality given to them actually belongs to a part of my soul, not Divine Soul, but Soul Power! So they will definitely obey my orders."

"As for whether there are any traps and loopholes."

Yu Qingyi thought for a moment and said, "I also think there aren’t any. Others cannot take it away from me. Even if they did, it would have no meaning, as once it loses my Soul Power, it would revert to its original form."

Yang Zhenshan was thoughtful; this Cultivation Technique should have no traps and loopholes, which means the dissemination of this Cultivation Technique by the Wanhua Demon Court was not meant to exploit others by deceptive means to achieve some purpose.

But he still couldn’t understand the reason the Wanhua Demon Court spread this Cultivation Technique.

After thinking for a long time, he could not come to any conclusion, and could only say, "Why don’t you just abandon this Cultivation Technique!"

Even though he feels this Cultivation Technique has no issues, what if?

He does not want Yu Qingyi to fall into danger due to cultivating a certain technique, especially when they have enough techniques, and even without cultivating the Spiritual Implantation Technique, they could cultivate other techniques, avoiding unnecessary risks.

"But I want to cultivate this technique!" Yu Qingyi gently stroked the Treemen’s rough skin. She really liked the Spiritual Implantation Technique and felt it suited her cultivation.

Yang Zhenshan was caught in hesitation; indeed, he was concerned. Using a cultivation technique to harm others is not an easy feat. Although there are many kinds of Immortal Cultivation Techniques with many differences, the cultivation of any technique must follow the rules of the three fundamental elements: the body, mana, and Divine Soul.

All cultivation techniques revolve around these three basic elements, and as long as they benefit these elements, the technique has no major issues.

The reason Yang Zhenshan is worried is that this Cultivation Technique might come from the Wanhua Demon Court, not because of any flaws in the technique itself.

"Don’t worry, I will cultivate carefully. If I encounter any problems, I will stop immediately!" Seeing him still hesitant, Yu Qingyi sweetly clung to his arm and said.

Her desire to cultivate the Spiritual Implantation Technique was not just out of fondness; more importantly, it was because the technique was very suitable for her, allowing her to enhance her abilities.

It wasn’t just about strengthening her capabilities but also keeping up with Yang Zhenshan.

"Alright, if you encounter any problems, tell me right away; don’t act rashly!" Seeing her determination, Yang Zhenshan stopped persuading.

"Hmm, hmm!" Yu Qingyi leaned on his shoulder with a sweet smile.

...

In the days that followed, Yang Zhenshan continued to accompany Yu Qingyi in cultivating the Spiritual Implantation Technique, still unable to let her practice alone without worrying.

Yu Qingyi seemed to have a high aptitude for the Spiritual Implantation Technique; initially, she could only imbue First-rank Spiritual Wood and could command only a dozen Treemen.

However, after three years of cultivating the Spiritual Implantation Technique, she could imbue Second-Tier Spirit Wood and command up to a hundred.

This meant she could control a hundred Treemen, equivalent to a hundred Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

This number still does not compare to the Wanhua Demon Emperor, but for Yu Qingyi, it was already a significant advancement.

Having a hundred Treemen, Yu Qingyi began researching military formations.

She hadn’t thought of commanding more Treemen; according to her thoughts, she wanted to follow the elite route, cultivating these hundred Treemen to powerful fighting capabilities.

Treemen also require training, and cultivating Treemen is more challenging than nurturing Divine Generals.

Neither Yang Zhenshan nor Yu Qingyi were aware of one thing: all Treemen cultivated by the Wanhua Demon Emperor were of one breed, that is, the Exquisite Jade Tree.

The Exquisite Jade Tree is a Second-tier Spirit Wood, and because all Treemen share the same origin, they could combine and merge with each other, transforming into stronger Treemen.

Spirit Source Land does not have many of the same breed of Second-tier Spirit Wood, which resulted in Yu Qingyi’s Treemen being of many breeds. Therefore, Yu Qingyi did not discover the Treemen’s merger capability.

Yang Zhenshan was only concerned about Yu Qingyi’s condition and did not pay attention to Yu Qingyi’s Treemen.

Once he confirmed Yu Qingyi had no problems, he slightly relaxed his attentiveness towards her, turning his focus back to his matters.

Alchemy, cultivation, enlightenment, upgrading the grade of Spiritual Artifact, etc., Yang Zhenshan continued his orderly cultivation.

The development of Spirit Source Land remained rapid; with population migration, the five boroughs of Spirit Source Land gradually filled up, numerous buildings sprang up, and vast spirit fields were cultivated. Numerous lush medicinal gardens and orchards exuded vibrant vitality.
