Crafting an Immortal Race with Daily Hexagrams

Chapter 82: Chapter 82: Farewell

Why is it said that the bloodline is special? Because there are only two kinds that can imprint power and pass it down through generations.

The first is a special constitution, and the second is an entity that has reached a terrifying realm.

Just like those divine beasts from ancient times, after reaching a certain realm, they imprint their power in their bloodline, and even if their descendants retain only a minuscule trace, it is enough to become a renowned great demon.

More importantly, the ancient texts also record that creatures with bloodlines, if blessed with heaven-defying opportunities, may give birth to a prodigy whose bloodline regresses to a more powerful ancestral form.

However...

Pei Zhao, having just carefully sensed, found that Shen Wenxing’s bloodline power is very rich, surpassing ordinary people.

Yet, there is no imprint inheritance within his bloodline.

It’s like a speeding carriage that doesn’t carry any goods.

This is very strange.

If the distant ancestors of the Shen Family truly had great capabilities, why didn’t they pass down their unique power through the bloodline?

Even if it has been so diluted that it’s barely detectable, there should still be some imprint left.

”Ah Die?”

Seeing her father frowning in silence, Pei Yuwan called out.

Pei Zhao returned to his senses, temporarily suppressing the matter of the bloodline in his heart, and said with a smile: ”I’m here to see Wen’an.”

Shen Wenxing slightly cupped his hands: ”Wen’an is at home now, and I was just planning to return home today. Immortal, why not stay here for the night and let Wen’an come over tomorrow?”

Pei Zhao nodded: ”That sounds good.”

Seeing this, Shen Wenxing quickly instructed someone to tidy up the room on the third floor.

”I will take my leave now; if you need anything, Immortal, feel free to instruct everyone in the pavilion. I’ve already told them.”

Pei Zhao nodded.

After Shen Wenxing walked away, Pei Yuwan expressed dissatisfaction: ”This man, he didn’t even invite us to his house.”

”Just like his stubborn brother...”

Pei Zhao smiled without saying anything and once again pondered the bloodline power of Shen Wenxing.

The Shen Family at Black Water Pool.

When Shen Wenxing returned home, it was already evening.

”Ah Die, today I met with Wen’an’s master.”

Upon seeing Shen Yuan, he spoke with a serious expression.

”Wen’an’s master?”

”Where?”

”I let them stay temporarily at the Ascension Pavilion in the county, didn’t dare to bring them back.”

Hearing this, Shen Yuan sighed with relief.

The peculiar nature of Black Water Pool is something any cultivator can easily sense; if the little one’s master came, he would undoubtedly see it right away.

”We must quickly set up the array plate Wen’an brought back.”

”At least make the secrets of Black Water Pool not so easily discovered.”

Shen Yuan said gravely.

”But Wen’an said that the array plate requires a large amount of spiritual qi to operate, and the spiritual qi at Black Water Pool is already scarce...”

Shen Yuan shook his head: ”We have to use it anyway.”

”Qiyun Valley is fine, with Wen’an there, even if they find out, there’s nothing much to change.”

”But now that other Immortal Sects have arrived, we can’t guarantee that they won’t disregard Qiyun Valley’s face and take action against us.”

”At that time, losing Black Water Pool is a small matter; our family’s lives being at stake is the real issue.”

Upon hearing this, Shen Wenxing’s expression became solemn.

”By the way, Wen’an’s master examined my body today and said something about the bloodline...”

Upon hearing this, Shen Yuan’s heart skipped a beat!

The thing they feared most has happened!

He had always been afraid that the Immortals had ways to investigate the bloodline, not expecting it to be exposed so soon.

”How did you respond?”

Shen Wenxing, somewhat perplexed, replied: ”The Immortal didn’t ask anything, and I didn’t say anything.”

”Ah Die, this bloodline...” Shen Yuan never mentioned the Ninth Grade bloodline to anyone, so naturally, Shen Wenxing didn’t know that he possessed the Ninth Grade bloodline.

”I am not certain,” Shen Yuan shook his head.

He only knew that the Ninth Grade bloodline could indeed make his and his sons’ bodies stronger, but he was unclear on what else it could do.

”You must be careful with this matter; never let anyone discover your bloodline power in the future.”

Shen Wenxing nodded cluelessly, just vaguely understanding that he should remain cautious around Immortals and avoid physical contact with them as much as possible.

”Now, you go call Wen’an, and I will go find Xu Xiu.”

”In a moment, send them both to the Ascension Pavilion.”

Shen Wenxing hesitated for a moment, understanding his father’s intentions immediately.

”But Wen’an just came back... ”

Before he finished speaking, he saw his father’s gaze becoming stern, and he immediately cupped his hands: ”I will go arrange it now.”

Shen Yuan looked in the direction of the backyard, sighed slightly, and went to Xu Xiu’s grass hut.

On the carriage, gazing at Shen Wen’an, who was sitting with a sword in his arms, and the excited Xu Xiu, Shen Yuan pondered for a moment before speaking:

”Old man, about the Black Water Pool...”

”I understand,” Xu Xiu smiled slightly in response.

Shen Yuan nodded, looking at his son: ”Wen’an, practice diligently when you return. Do not try to save the resources given by the sect.”

”You have to know the stronger you are, the more resources you will obtain.”

”These things will be at your fingertips when you are strong enough, but they are of utmost importance to you now.”

Shen Wen’an nodded, his gaze slowly shifting away.

”Go ahead.”

Shen Yuan patted the carriage, indicating Shen Wenxing to leave quickly.

”Farewell, Brother Shen!”

The carriage moved slowly, and Xu Xiu cupped his hands in farewell to Shen Yuan.

Only after the carriage vanished into the night did Shen Yuan sigh and turn around.

”What exactly are you thinking?”

”Can’t you let the child spend a night at home?”

Hu Yufen, with tears in her eyes, looked at Shen Yuan with difficulty understanding.

”Let’s go back.”

Shen Yuan did not explain and quietly walked back into the courtyard.

At night, the couple lay on the bed, Hu Yufen with her back to him, clearly still upset.

Seeing this, Shen Yuan sighed, placed his hand on her shoulder, and said softly: ”Do you think I’m cold-hearted?”

Hu Yufen shifted a bit, not speaking.

Shen Yuan continued, ”Besides Wen’an, we have three other children and a grandson.”

”Moreover, he has to return to the Immortal Sect sooner or later; it’s all the same.”

Seeing his wife unresponsive, Shen Yuan felt a bit frustrated, threw on a garment, and went to sit quietly in the courtyard.

Hu Yufen gazed silently at the moonlight outside, tears on her face.

She understood this as well, but unlike her husband, she couldn’t be as rational.

Ascension Pavilion in Anyang County.

When Shen Wenxing brought the two over, Pei Zhao was somewhat surprised.

”Weren’t you supposed to come tomorrow?”

Just as Shen Wenxing was pondering how to explain, Shen Wen’an spoke up: ”Disciple missed Master.”

The words left Pei Zhao a bit bewildered.

Pei Yuwan glanced at him up and down as if looking at a monster.

”Ah Die, is this boy ill?”

Shen Wen’an felt a bit flustered inside. He wasn’t the sort to offer speeches, let alone lie.

He understood that the reason his father had his elder brother send him over overnight was to prevent his master and sister, on a whim, from going to Black Water Pool and discovering its secrets, which could bring trouble to their family.

”By the way, Master, this is an old acquaintance of my father, who received immortal fate years ago and now wishes to return to Qiyun Valley with us.”

Changing the subject somewhat awkwardly, Shen Wen’an introduced.

Xu Xiu hurriedly stepped forward respectfully: ”Xu Xiu greets the two Immortals!”

Pei Zhao glanced at him and said faintly, ”To have reached Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer without guidance, and in such a spiritually barren place like Yangnao Land, is no small feat.”

”But alas, your longevity is running short...”

”Well, since my disciple has spoken, I shall bring you back to Qiyun Valley with us.”

Upon hearing this, Xu Xiu’s face lit up with joy!

”Thank you, Immortal!”

”Thank you, Immortal!”

Seeing that this matter was finally brushed over, Shen Wenxing cupped his hands appropriately: ”Two Immortals, senior, I will take my leave now.”

”Wen’an, listen to your master well when you return, don’t anger him.”

”Remember what your father instructed you.”

Rubbing Shen Wen’an’s head, Shen Wenxing reminded him.

Shen Wen’an nodded without speaking.

”Goodbye, big brother.”

Reluctantly boarding the carriage, Shen Wenxing hardened his resolve and drove into the distant darkness.
