Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1067: Chapter 733: The First Meeting of Two Eagles (Part 2)

After cultivating the ”Green Wood Longevity Skill,” all the True Qi in his body transformed into clear wood Qi, which seemed to be at odds with thunder and would affect his ability to harness thunder power.

Yang Zhenshan pondered for a moment, then his brow relaxed.

While the conversion of cultivation techniques affected his control over thunder, it did not significantly diminish the power of his Thunderbolt Spear.

Because the Thunderbolt Spear itself didn’t originate from thunder; Yang Zhenshan first comprehended the Thunderbolt Spear and only later understood the power of thunder.

The essence of the Thunderbolt Spear is purely my spear intent, and thunder only slightly amplifies the power of the Thunderbolt Spear.

”Not entirely!”

Yang Zhenshan looked down at his left hand, where faint arcs of electricity danced between his thick fingers.

”My thunder isn’t just thunder attribute spiritual power, but also my understanding of the Dao intent of thunder! It comes from the Daoist Intent Sacred Lotus!”

The Daoist Intent Sacred Lotus enhances one’s understanding of natural Dao intent, and the reason Yang Zhenshan could control thunder was because he had comprehended the Dao intent of thunder, not because his True Qi contained thunder spirit attributes.

”However, I truly am more suited for cultivating thunder spirits!” Yang Zhenshan shook his head somewhat helplessly.

If he could cultivate with a thunder attribute technique, the Dao intent of thunder he had previously comprehended could enhance the power of the True Yuan in his body and might even help elevate his cultivation.

Unfortunately, he could not find a thunder spirit’s Energy Introduction Skill, and among the Three Sects and Twelve Families of the Sea of Spirit, there was no Martial God with a thunder attribute.

The absence of a thunder attribute Martial God was partly because thunder attribute spiritual energy was relatively rare, and partly because the Three Sects and Twelve Families possibly lacked a thunder attribute Golden Body Skill.

Therefore, the current issue wasn’t whether Yang Zhenshan could cultivate a thunder attribute Energy Introduction Skill, but rather if he could find a thunder attribute Golden Body Skill in the future.

If he couldn’t find a thunder attribute Golden Body Skill, having a thunder attribute Energy Introduction Skill now would be in vain.

Yang Zhenshan felt some regret about this, but fortunately, his pure spear intent was not affected by the conversion of cultivation techniques, serving as a trump card, allowing him to have an opportunity to unleash his spear in front of Heavenly Gang Stage martial artists.

And his pure spear intent had grown much stronger over decades of comprehension, though utilizing it was extremely mentally draining and couldn’t be maintained for long.

”Family Head!”

After the battle ended, Wang Lei came over with the others.

Yang Zhenshan withdrew his spear and said, ”Take it back for processing, but leave the snake skin and gallbladder for me.”

This large snake was truly a treasure trove; the value of its gallbladder surpassed that of ordinary Spirit Fruits, its tough skin could be crafted into protective armor, and its meat was also a potent spiritual object.

Besides these, the teeth could be used in artifact refining, and the eyes could be used in medicine.

In the Martial Cultivator’s workshop of Nanxia County, there’s a store specializing in buying various mutant beast corpses, and even an ordinary mutant beast could sell for six or seven Spirit Stones, while this large snake could likely fetch over ten Spirit Stones.

Following Yang Zhenshan’s instructions, the young men of the Yang family excitedly lifted the large snake.

But at that moment, a sharp eagle’s cry suddenly echoed from the sky.

Yang Zhenshan looked up in surprise and saw a massive eagle swooping toward the Flying Slave Eagle, with that piercing cry coming from the Flying Slave Eagle.

This eagle, which appeared out of nowhere, seemed truly terrifying, its size was two times larger than the Flying Slave Eagle, and its wings reflected a golden halo, making its grayish-white feathers shimmer brightly.

”Damn it! Isn’t it true that wild mutant beasts in these mountains are scarce?” Wang Lei couldn’t help but curse.

This gigantic eagle seemed more terrifying than the large snake, and its diving momentum was extremely intimidating, causing a shiver in one’s heart.

In front of it, the Flying Slave Eagle seemed like a frightened chick, flapping its wings frantically toward Yang Zhenshan.

Yang Zhenshan’s heart tightened, and he swiftly raised his spear, pointing it at the eagle, his eyes glinting with sharpness.

The Flying Slave Eagle was his granddaughter’s precious pet and couldn’t perish here, otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to face Yang Wanqi upon returning home.

The spear’s sharpness gleamed, the pure spear intent slowly gathering in his mind, and Yang Zhenshan was prepared to strike at the Golden Feathered Bird at any moment.

The Golden Feathered Eagle seemed to sense the danger too, slightly slowing its dive before letting out a loud cry.

The Flying Slave Eagle landed behind Yang Zhenshan, cowering like a quail.

The young men of the Yang family also turned pale with fear written all over their faces.

Even Wang Lei clutched his long knife at his waist nervously.

They all could sense that the danger posed by this Golden Feathered Eagle surpassed that of the large snake.

Just as Yang Zhenshan was about to thrust his spear with all his might, a voice suddenly echoed, ”Golden Feather, get back here!”

This voice was gruff, thundering through the air.

Yang Zhenshan followed the voice to see a burly man in red armor standing on the mountain top opposite, with a rugged face and thick sideburns, exuding a strong aura.

It was the kind of murderous intent honed through slaughter on battlefields.

Yang Zhenshan was all too familiar with such murderous aura.

He himself possessed such murderous intent.

Only after he cultivated the Concealing Breath Skill did he master controlling it, rarely releasing it.

Under the man’s scolding, the Golden Feathered Eagle in the sky descended to the mountain top opposite, landing beside the man.

Afterward, the eagle and man seemed to communicate over there, chirping and speaking in turns.

The distance was a bit far, so Yang Zhenshan couldn’t hear what the man was saying, only able to hear chirps and indistinct murmurs.

He naturally couldn’t understand this bird language; his rapport with Red Cloud was a result of fifty years of mutual understanding, where Red Cloud didn’t even need to chirp for him to know its thoughts.

As for the Flying Slave Eagle, he could only give it orders and didn’t understand its bird language.

”Family Head!” Wang Lei discerned that the man opposite was not simple and couldn’t help but speak up in caution.

Yang Zhenshan slightly shook his head, ”It’s alright, let’s wait and see!”

The man’s strength should be quite formidable, being able to command such a Golden Feathered Eagle, his capability was undoubtedly proven.

Yet, having encountered him, Yang Zhenshan couldn’t just turn and leave.

The other was powerful, entitled to walk away if he wished, but he, as the weaker, wouldn’t leave without a word and risk causing offense.

The man and eagle continued communicating for a while, then the man turned into a golden stream of light, rapidly shooting over, speed so fast that it startled Yang Zhenshan.

”Yang Zhenshan of the Lingxi Yang Family greets the General!” Yang Zhenshan first clasped his hands in greeting.

The man laughed heartily, ”Hahaha, apologies, apologies, for my Golden Feather startling you all!”

Hearing his laughter, Yang Zhenshan felt much relieved.

Such hearty laughter seemed not to belong to a ruthless character, nor did the man appear deceitful or treacherous.

”You flatter me, General, it’s just that my little eagle got a scare!”

Yang Zhenshan glanced at the Flying Slave Eagle behind him, the cowardly creature still shrank with its head down behind him.

The man looked at the Flying Slave Eagle behind Yang Zhenshan, a trace of embarrassment crossed his face.

”Ahem, I am Lan Peng, greetings, Brother Yang!” Lan Peng cupped his fists in a salute.

”Ah, it’s General Lan!” Yang Zhengshan returned the salute.

General!

That means he’s from the Lu family.

In the Sea of Spirit, only the Lu family had an army, while other Sect and Family or Martial Arts families didn’t, although they had some martial artist teams, they were just groups of martial artists, not an army.

At that moment, the Golden Feathered Eagle stood behind Lan Peng, its sharp eagle eyes constantly staring at the Flying Slave Eagle behind Yang Zhenshan.

And though the Flying Slave Eagle hid behind Yang Zhenshan, its size was much larger; even when hunched, Yang Zhenshan couldn’t entirely shield it.

Coo Coo~~

The Golden Feathered Eagle began to call.

The Flying Slave Eagle suddenly stopped trembling and poked its head out, staring blankly at the Golden Feathered Eagle opposite.

Coo Coo Coo Coo~~

The Golden Feathered Eagle seemed very excited to see it show its head.

Then the Flying Slave Eagle cooed twice as well.

Then, both eagles began to coo back and forth.
