Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1563: Chapter 967: How Could I Not Compete? (Part 2)

If he missed this opportunity, he didn’t know how much time it would take to collect the Jie Dan Spirit Object.

...

After leaving Zhongli Xiayi, Yang Zhenshan returned to his small courtyard, lost in complex thoughts.

There must be a wealth of resources in the Sun Cave Heaven, whether left behind by the Sun True Sect or naturally grown over ten thousand years; the quantity is unimaginable.

Going is a certainty, but what preparation is needed?

Suddenly, Yang Zhenshan thought of a very serious issue.

With the cave heaven’s fall, space will be disturbed. The question now is, can he still use the Spirit Source Land to teleport?

If not, wouldn’t he lose his greatest reliance?

”Even Golden Core Cultivators must be cautious about space disturbances. I should be unable to use the Spirit Source Land for teleportation, and not only that, transfer methods like the small teleportation talisman or teleportation arrays probably can’t be used!”

”In this case, extreme caution is necessary!”

”The opportunity for Core Formation is right in front of us; how can I not strive for it?”

”But this chance can only be relied upon myself!”

Yang Zhenshan’s mind raced, considering many aspects.

There’s no doubt that the Sun Cave Heaven’s fall will certainly become a battlefield for Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

Without a Late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation, it’s best not to participate.

As for the Spirit Source Land, the only one qualified to join this contest is Yang Zhenshan alone.

As for Hidden Sword Mountain, honestly, he doesn’t have much trust in it. Though he wishes to befriend Hidden Sword Mountain and finds Jian Changhe quite decent, trust has not yet been established.

In comparison, he has more trust in Yun Xiao, given they have been acquainted for decades.

After thinking for a long time, Yang Zhenshan decided that he should discuss the matter with Yun Xiao.

Then, he came to Yun Xiao’s rented cave mansion and carefully explained the situation of the Sun Cave Heaven to him.

Yun Xiao was first shocked, then pleased, and finally looked solemn.

”So, both of us have the opportunity to enter the Sun Cave Heaven!” Yun Xiao said.

”Yes, with the cave heaven’s fall, it will inevitably overlap with the main world, and many space rifts will appear, allowing us to enter the cave heaven through these rifts.” Yang Zhenshan said.

The cave heaven’s fall doesn’t mean the cave heaven drops from the sky, but rather it approaches the main world from the Void, colliding with the main world’s spatial barrier, and then merging into a unified process.

It’s like blowing bubbles, where a small bubble touches a large bubble and merges into it.

After the cave heaven falls, all substances within it will appear in the main world, which is actually a great disaster since there are mountains and rivers, vast lands, or oceans in the cave heaven, and its fall will likely cause catastrophes.

If the Spirit Source Land were to fall, with its two thousand miles of mountains, once it merges with the main world, it would change the terrain within a two-thousand-mile radius, and during this change, countless natural disasters are sure to occur.

In the process of the cave heaven merging with the main world, the first phenomenon to occur is the Void Rift, forming channels connecting the main world and the cave heaven, like Pocket World Gates.

While Pocket World Gates are controllable and orderly, Void Rifts are uncontrollable and chaotic.

Even Golden Core Cultivators cannot control Void Rifts, granting Foundation Establishment Cultivators the chance to enter the cave heaven in advance.

In the hall, Yun Xiao stood up, pacing back and forth, his expression changing repeatedly, and his gaze growing sharper.

”We must go!”

He gritted his teeth, saying.

Unlike Yang Zhenshan, Yun Xiao is older, and if he misses this opportunity, he likely won’t have a chance to form his core in his lifetime.

If he goes, he might have a sliver of hope.

”I’ll venture into the Sun Cave Heaven with you!” Yun Xiao said.

Yang Zhenshan slightly nodded, ”Alright, since that’s the case, let’s go back and prepare!”

”Uh, Yun Xi!” Yun Xiao hadn’t forgotten about Yun Xi.

Yang Zhenshan laughed, ”If we can return from the Sun Cave Heaven, wouldn’t we be willing to give her a few pieces of third-rank Spiritual Materials?”

Compared with the opportunity for Core Formation, the third-rank Spiritual Materials for refining Magical Treasures are less precious.

There will surely be many Spiritual Materials suitable for artifact refining in the Sun Cave Heaven; this is undeniable.

Elixirs may lose effectiveness over time, and spirit medicine and spiritual grass might wither due to environmental changes, but minerals and the like can withstand the wear of a thousand years.

The Sun True Sect, as an Ancient Sect, surely stored a large amount of Spiritual Materials.

They’ll risk entering once; can’t return empty-handed.

”Indeed, I’ll take her back right away!” Yun Xiao thought this made sense and smiled.

Then, the two hurriedly took Yun Xi and left White Cloud Immortal City together.

Yun Xi was confused by them, but after hearing Yun Xiao’s explanation, she felt the urge to venture into the Sun Cave Heaven too.

On the Jade Cloud Boat, Yang Zhenshan controlled the boat while saying, ”You better not, with your cultivation, entering the Sun Cave Heaven would be suicide!”

”Senior looks down on me?” Yun Xi was a bit dissatisfied.

”It’s not that I look down on you, rather, you really can’t handle it!” Yang Zhenshan replied bluntly.

Jade Valley lies at the edge of the Wanhua Mountain Range. Once the Sun Cave Heaven falls, the demon clan of Wanhua Mountain Range will go mad. They desire resources even more than Human Race Cultivators.

Not to mention the Wanhua Demon Court, even those Demon Kings will surely send all their demon beasts into the cave heaven.

Mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators will struggle to protect themselves; even Late-stage ones will find it difficult to retreat completely.

Yun Xiao also said, ”Yun Xi, this isn’t child’s play.”

Yun Xi looked at Yun Xiao and saw his serious expression, leading to her helpless defeat.

Upon returning to Mianyun Continent, Yang Zhenshan immediately returned to the Spirit Source Land.

This time, he had many things to prepare, first of all, he was unsure whether he could still connect to the Spirit Source Land when the cave heaven falls.

Space disturbances will inevitably affect his connection to the Spirit Source Land, even though his Divine Soul has merged with the source of the Spirit Origin.

This means he must consider scenarios without the ability to use the Spirit Source Land for teleportation, nor as storage space.

Thus, he needed to prepare several Storage Bags.

So, he directly asked Ma Qiuyan to help him sew a new Vestment robe, embedding storage space directly in the robe.

Next, he needed to prepare various combat items, talismans, lots of them, the more the better.

Although Yang Zhenshan wasn’t adept at using talismans, he could still use them; worse comes to worst, he’d just throw them after activation.

Of course, this usage method is wasteful, but Yang Zhenshan can afford to waste.

Then come the elixirs, for healing wounds, restoring mana, nurturing the Divine Soul, antidotes, and so on. Anything potentially useful must be prepared.

Finally, there were other miscellaneous items.

Yang Zhenshan summoned all disciples to collectively brainstorm.

To avoid neglecting any aspect.

This time, it’s truly a venture, and comprehensive preparation is necessary.
