Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1471 - 924: Hidden Sword Mountain Master Jian Changhe

Yang Zhenshan glanced at the Golden Thunder Bamboo and turned around with his hands behind his back, heading towards the bamboo building not far away.

”How is your research on refining the Pocket World Gate coming along?”

”I’ve grasped some of the fundamentals, but further attempts are needed for refinement!” Yang Jizhen replied.

The Pocket World Gate is the external passage for Spirit Source Land. As of now, the two existing gates can no longer fulfill its needs, prompting Yang Zhenshan to prioritize its refinement.

Yang Zhenshan said, ”The Pocket World Gate involves the Path of Void. You should focus more effort on this!”

Although the lowest grade of the Pocket World Gate is Second Rank Top Grade, the Dao Rhyme it contains is incomparable to ordinary magical treasures.

Every magical treasure involving the Void is extremely rare.

Of course, it’s also extremely difficult to refine.

”I can already feel the profoundness of the Void!” Yang Jizhen said.

To refine the Pocket World Gate, one must have a certain understanding of the rules of the Void.

His previous mention of attempts referred to trying out the rules of the Void.

Yang Zhenshan nodded slightly, ”Then spend the next period studying this!”

Yang Jizhen hesitated for a moment and said, ”About the Sea of Spirit over there!”

Yang Zhenshan waved his hand, ”Don’t worry about those; I’ll handle them personally!”

The matters of the Sea of Spirit need attention, but the issues within Spirit Source Land are more important. Yang Jizhen, as the chief Artifact Refiner of Spirit Source Land, has many responsibilities to manage and shouldn’t waste his time on external trivial matters.

Of course, most of the time Yang Zhenshan would still take him along, not expecting any help, just hoping he would gain more insights.

...

A few days later, Yang Zhenshan received another invitation from Yue Qing and returned to the Mirror Abyss Pavilion.

However, upon entering the Pavilion, he noticed a new, unfamiliar face.

”Greetings, Sect Master!” Yang Zhenshan felt slightly surprised and then cupped his hand towards Yue Qing in greeting.

Yue Qing’s face had regained its usual enthusiasm and brightness without the previous sense of fatigue.

”Elder Yang, let me introduce you to the Mountain Master of Hidden Sword Mountain, Jian Changhe!”

Yang Zhenshan’s thoughts stirred, and he hurriedly bowed, ”Yang Zhenshan from the Yang family greets the Mountain Master!”

He actually had seen Jian Changhe before; it was at the initial establishment of Qingli Immortal City, where Jian Changhe represented Hidden Sword Mountain at the White Cloud Commerce’s investment convention.

At that time, Jian Changhe sat in the front row, while Yang Zhenshan could only sit at the back row.

Though Jian Changhe’s fame wasn’t prominent, Yang Zhenshan knew a bit about him.

This person was a true genius in Sword Dao.

Moreover, he was indeed the true heir of Hidden Sword Mountain; one could say he was the legacy of the Heavenly Sword True Monarch, though he wasn’t the monarch’s disciple, as he was born after the monarch’s ascension.

As the heir of the Heavenly Sword True Monarch, Jian Changhe virtually carried all the heritage of Hidden Sword Mountain.

Compared to him, Yun Xiao seemed insignificant.

”Yang Zhenshan, I know you! You possess a spiritual artifact!” Jian Changhe stood tall, straight as a sword, and even sitting, he exuded a sharp aura.

His voice was notably distinctive, cool amidst its calmness, not deliberately unwelcome towards Yang Zhenshan, yet making Yang uncomfortable to interact with.

”Compared to the Mountain Master, my heritage is insignificant!” Yang Zhenshan said with a smile.

Jian Changhe stared directly at him, his eyes sharp as a sword edge causing a chilling sensation.

Yang Zhenshan frowned slightly.

”I’m very curious about White Jade City; I wonder if you could take me to see it!” Jian Changhe said.

Yang Zhenshan’s frown deepened.

”I advise the Mountain Master not to have such thoughts.”

”Why?”

”Because it’s dangerous for the Mountain Master!” Yang Zhenshan replied calmly.

He could use Spirit Source Land as a bluff, but no one could enter without his permission.

Once entered, they’d become relentless enemies, and Yang Zhenshan would certainly do everything to keep them within the Spirit Source Land.

Jian Changhe stared at him, Yang Zhenshan likewise gazed back. Their eyes clashed in mid-air, intensifying the heavy atmosphere in the hall.
