Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1575: Chapter 974: Harvesting the First Jie Dan Spirit Object

Yang Zhenshan looked up at the cliff, pondered briefly, then said, ”Move aside a bit, I’ll give it a try!”

Upon hearing him, the three of Yun Xiao retreated over ten yards.

Yang Zhenshan pinched a spell, and instantly, numerous tiny vines sprouted under his feet.

The vines flowed over the rocks like water, climbing the cliff, seeking possible vulnerabilities in the array.

Yang Zhenshan could sense where that obscure aura was emanating from, but he couldn’t pinpoint the exact location, so he had to use this seemingly clumsy method to search for weaknesses.

Just as he had thought, his vines quickly discovered a crack, a foot-long crack, but only half an inch wide, which indicated a problem with the array’s restriction, resulting in a vulnerability in the array barrier.

Such a crack cannot be detected by Spiritual Sense alone, instead, this clumsy method is the most effective.

The densely packed vines entered the crack like a spool of thread, yet Yang Zhenshan still couldn’t perceive the situation inside the array through Spiritual Sense.

His eyebrows furrowed slightly.

The crack was found, but how to break the array?

After hesitating briefly, he decided to dismantle the array from within.

Under his control, small vines continuously poured into the array from the crack, then they kept growing, intertwining into a thick rope.

He roughly estimated the location, controlling the rope to swing hard at the nearest Spirit Pine.

Once, twice, thrice...

The Spirit Pine began to tremble.

”Yun Xiao, attack that Spirit Pine!” he said sternly.

Such a method to break the array would certainly damage the Spirit Pine, but there was no other way, he couldn’t think of a better method.

Moreover, there were nine Spirit Pines here, even if one was ruined, it wouldn’t matter.

Upon hearing Yang Zhenshan, Yun Xiao didn’t waste any words, summoned his Flying Sword, concentrated a three-yard sword light, and slashed at the Spirit Pine.

Boom~~

The sword light descended, erupting in a deep rumbling sound abruptly.

The rocks shook, and the originally concealed array barrier emitted a vibrant glow, with flowing lights flickering.

Seeing this, Yang Zhenshan controlled the rope to wrap around the Spirit Pine, then forcefully pulled.

A Spirit Pine of ten thousand years has deep roots; if outside the array, Yang Zhenshan could excavate it effortlessly. But inside the array, relying on the rope to pull, it seemed a bit inadequate.

”Continue!”

Yang Zhenshan said.

”Let me!”

Kou Ta stepped forward, six golden arms behind him thunderously pounding the Spirit Pine.

Indeed, although his attack wasn’t as potent as Yun Xiao’s Sword Qi, its continuous, quick, and heavy nature was more suitable for shaking the array.

Thud, thud, thud...

Fist-sized pounding fell like rain, causing ripples in the array barrier.

With a crisp sound.

The vine rope controlled by Yang Zhenshan loosened, and a visible crack appeared on the array barrier.

”Haha, it’s open!”

Yun Xiao laughed delightedly looking at the crack.

Seeing its effect, Kou Ta pounded even harder, like a human bulldozer, constantly battering the array barrier.

Under his pounding, the Spirit Pine continually shattered, and within moments, a large breach appeared on the array barrier.

While the array was not entirely dismantled, the breach was big enough for them to enter inside.

”Enough!” Yang Zhenshan stopped Kou Ta, who was still pounding.

”It’s good that this array has been exhausted for too long, the restriction and nodes inside have issues, otherwise we couldn’t just breach such a Great Array!” Yun Xiao said, looking at the restriction node where the barrier opened.

The array in front was evidently a third-tier array, on a par with the Ancient Relic Array in the Sea of Spirit, just with a much smaller coverage.

Such a third-tier array would connect to Earth Veins, under normal circumstances it couldn’t be violently disrupted, at least not by a few Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Also, because this array hadn’t been maintained for thousands of years, it was breached so easily by them.

With Spiritual Sense probing into the array through the breach, Yang Zhenshan immediately discovered a one-yard-high arch hidden beneath the cliff.

The nine Spirit Pines were arranged in some pattern in front of the arch, and on the arch lay blue Scale Vines, each leaf resembling a small piece of Glaze, with liquid spiritual light flowing through the leaf veins.

Yang Zhenshan narrowed his eyes at the Scale Vine.

Another Third Order Spirit Plant.

”Let’s go in!”

Yang Zhenshan, after tidying up briefly, stepped into the array first.

Upon entering the array, the air suddenly changed, and the intense pine resin fragrance invigorated Yang Zhenshan’s spirit.

”This fragrance!”

Yang Zhenshan looked at the nine Spirit Pines.

Among the nine Spirit Pines, one was already in ruins, with scattered branches and leaves.

”These Spirit Pines seem to benefit the Divine Soul!” Yun Xiao also sensed the difference in the pine resin fragrance.

Yang Zhenshan approached, grabbed a piece of pine branch, smelled it carefully, his eyes lit up, ”It indeed benefits the Divine Soul, seems to have soul nourishing effects.”

Yun Xiao also picked up a pine branch to inspect, but alas, he wasn’t an Alchemist and couldn’t analyze the Spirit Plant’s properties.

Yet, Yang Zhenshan’s heart couldn’t help but tremble, realizing this Spirit Pine not only benefited the Divine Soul but also had the effect of stabilizing the Dao Heart and suppressing Heart Demons.

Simply put, its effect was very similar to Forget River Dew.

Meaning it could be used as a Jie Dan Spirit Object.

Yang Zhenshan was profoundly excited.

This was a Jie Dan Spirit Object!

It was actually a Jie Dan Spirit Object!
