Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Feeling An Yuxing’s current state, Yang Zhenshan felt somewhat reassured.

An Yuxing was currently in the state of forming his Golden Body, and things seemed to be going well. Perhaps, it wouldn’t be long before he broke through.

Afterward, he went to check on Liang Shengze and Qu Changkong’s seclusion locations. Qu Changkong was comparatively younger, only about one hundred and thirty years old now—not that much over one hundred and twenty, but still much younger than An Yuxing and Liang Shengze.

The one in the worst condition, however, was Liang Shengze. Seeing his dissipating aura gave Yang Zhenshan a sinking feeling.

A dissipating aura meant that Liang Shengze couldn’t control the True Yuan within his body. Forming a Golden Body requires using True Yuan to control and refine the Spiritual Energy entering the body, but since Liang Shengze couldn’t even manage his own True Yuan, how could he control Spiritual Energy?

Yang Zhenshan appeared in front of Liang Shengze in a flash, carefully observing his condition.

”Brother Liang! Brother Liang!”

He called out softly.

Liang Shengze showed no reaction.

”Damn!” Yang Zhenshan cursed under his breath. In this situation, without external aid, Liang Shengze would likely fail his breakthrough and meet a tragic end, just like Zhou Tianci had earlier.

But how could he help Liang Shengze?

Yang Zhenshan found himself at a bit of a loss.

The breakthrough process was inherently dangerous, and one had to rely on one’s own efforts—external help was generally ineffective.

Currently, Liang Shengze was clearly running out of steam, unable to continue his breakthrough. His consciousness was even slipping into a coma.

After some hesitation, Yang Zhenshan gritted his teeth and took out a mid-grade Foundation Establishment Pill.

Since the Foundation Establishment Pill could aid an Immortal Cultivator in establishing a foundation, it should be able to assist a Martial Artist in forming a Golden Body.

The main effect of the Foundation Establishment Pill is to provide a vast amount of medicinal power to break the confinement of the Dantian and reconstruct it.

This didn’t seem particularly useful for forming a Golden Body, but now Liang Shengze’s problem wasn’t just the inability to control his True Yuan—his True Yuan was depleted to the brink.

He needed a large amount of True Yuan and to awaken his consciousness, giving him a slim chance at survival.

With no other options, Yang Zhenshan decided to take a gamble.

He inserted the Foundation Establishment Pill into Liang Shengze’s mouth, lightly brushing his chest to help him swallow it.

Simultaneously, he delicately stimulated Liang Shengze’s comatose consciousness with his Divine Soul.

The process was extremely perilous—any slight excess in the soul power Yang Zhenshan infused could cause Liang Shengze’s Divine Soul to dissipate.

Yang Zhenshan was sweating nervously, fearful of any mishaps.

Fortunately, over the years, he had focused on cultivating Divine Soul Techniques and fine-tuned his control over Divine Soul Power.

His Divine Soul Power was like a fine needle, gently piercing into Liang Shengze’s Divine Soul. Liang Shengze’s soul quivered lightly, slowly rousing from his comatose state.

”Don’t panic. Calm your mind and focus on controlling the drug power within you!” Yang Zhenshan’s voice echoed.

In his bewildered state, Liang Shengze grew more aware, concentrating on the chaotic state within his body.

Inside him, everything was in disarray—a nearly depleted True Yuan was scattered among his meridians and acupoints. His unstable Spirit Base trembled, on the brink of collapsing at any moment, while uncontrolled Spiritual Energy he drew from outside assailed his flesh unrelentingly.

More importantly, the violent medicinal force of the Foundation Establishment Pill surged like a flood within his Dantian and meridians. Although it replenished his lost True Yuan, it brought immense pain as well.
