Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1899 - 1136: Stepping Out (Part 3)

If you want to establish a sect, you’ll definitely need a Dao Field.

This Dao Field cannot be too subpar; at the very least it must have a Third-stage Spiritual Vein.

Having a Dao Field is not enough, you need enterprises.

Ordinary forces need vast spirit fields, but White Jade City doesn’t require too many spirit fields, as Spirit Source Land has plenty of spirit fields.

However, that doesn’t mean White Jade City doesn’t need other things.

Various minerals, various Spiritual Objects, and most importantly, the fundamental Spirit Stones.

Countless Spirit Stones, the more the merrier.

This means that White Jade City must compete with various forces to seize territories, enterprises, resources, and everything beneficial to itself.

Previously, Spirit Source Land only engaged in trade, and it was mostly limited trade that rarely conflicted with other forces’ production, but once White Jade City seeks to establish a sect externally, then inevitable conflicts will arise with various forces.

Moreover, this is already a time of power struggles, the situation is chaotic enough, and White Jade City’s move at this moment would inevitably pull it into the power struggles.

Thinking of the power struggles, everyone had varying expressions.

Yang Jizhen, Yang Chengye, Yang Chengmao, and others looked excited, almost eager for a major endeavor.

They understood the harshness of the power struggle, but they had absolute confidence in Yang Zhenshan, believing he could lead them to victory.

Yun Xiao fell into contemplation, eyes shimmering with brilliance.

Xuanzhen grinned broadly, having long grown weary of Life Realm Immortal Palace and desiring to venture out and wreak havoc.

Lin Qihe’s eyes lowered slightly, his thoughts lingering on the Unpredictable Ghost Sect.

Green Bull Demon King awoke as if from a dream, looking bewildered.

Yue Yao furrowed her brow; she didn’t want to be involved in the power struggle, nor did she wish for Yang Zhenshan to partake in it. She was satisfied with the current life of the Spirit Deer Clan and did not want her kin to endure the brutal warfare again.

Kou Ta and Hong Fuxiu seemed indifferent, already content having ventured onto the Golden Core Path. If Yang Zhenshan needed them, they were willing to go through fire and water for him.

"Your Highness, do you wish to partake in the power struggle?" Yue Yao couldn’t help but ask.

She wanted to know Yang Zhenshan’s thoughts but felt if he truly wanted to engage in the power struggle, she had no choice but to follow him down a dark path.

The Wanhua Demon Court had already been wiped out, and the Spirit Deer Clan had adapted to life in Spirit Source Land, leaving her unable to separate from White Jade City now.

Yang Zhenshan lightly tapped the armrest of his chair, understanding Yue Yao’s concerns, and after some thought said, "We can engage, or we can abstain!"

Yue Yao looked at him in confusion.

He explained, "Whether we engage will depend on how things develop. I now only wish to lead White Jade City outward, but once White Jade City steps out, whether to engage is something beyond my control."

"The great trend will force us into involvement unless we remain in Spirit Source Land forever, otherwise, we will inevitably be drawn into it."

Yue Yao’s eyes lowered slightly, "Can’t we stay in Spirit Source Land? Go out after the power struggle ends."

Yang Zhenshan smiled, "No, not participating would leave me unsatisfied. Participating, however, my desire isn’t strong!"

He has ambitions for the position of power but wouldn’t say he absolutely must obtain it.

Compared to the position of power, he actually desires more to become a true Taoist Master.

Currently, he is already at Half-step Enlightenment, and at less than three hundred years old, he has thousands of years to cultivate.
