Crafting an Immortal Race with Daily Hexagrams

Chapter 170: Chapter 162: The Fall of Bai Ze

What’s wrong with this damn turtle shell again?

Looking at the faint mist on the White Jade Turtle Shell, even the hexagram is unclear, Shen Yuan frowned deeply.

As his divine sense approached and touched the fog on the White Jade Turtle Shell, a sudden change occurred!

In an instant, Shen Yuan felt his entire being pulled into the sky, his perspective infinitely magnified!

The full moon hung high in the sky, the stars were dazzling.

A few thin clouds drifted slowly past his eyes.

Looking down, there was an endless expanse of mountains, stretching beyond the horizon. From this perspective, Shen Yuan felt that this mountain range was probably larger than the entire Yu Country.

This was only within his line of sight, and he couldn’t see the scenery farther away.

Where is this?

Under the night sky, Shen Yuan’s gaze surveyed the surrounding mountains, rivers, waterfalls, and forests, but he did not know where the White Jade Turtle Shell had brought his divine sense.

While he was still puzzled, a brilliant column of light suddenly shot up from a part of the forest below!

In the next moment, Shen Yuan saw the distant sky dyed with a crystal-clear light blue by the light column!

Before he figured out what was happening, a strange giant beast suddenly emerged from the blue-tinted night sky!

A tiger’s head with red fur, antelope horns, and a lion’s body...

Bai Ze!

Seeing this scene, Shen Yuan was horrified. He immediately recognized that this giant beast was the Bai Ze Auspicious Beast that had appeared on the White Jade Turtle Shell before.

Only the Bai Ze in the sky was countless times larger than the one on the Turtle Shell!

After the Bai Ze appeared in the sky, a strange divine aura spread around it, resembling a deity filled with divine power.

The massive Bai Ze’s form flickered several times, gradually becoming the size of a buffalo, strolling leisurely in the void.

A moment later, as if sensing Shen Yuan’s presence, the Bai Ze suddenly turned its head, looking quietly.

Shen Yuan’s heart tightened.

He’s now in a state of divine sense; could the Bai Ze discover him?

Seemingly to confirm his suspicion, a faint smile suddenly appeared on Bai Ze’s face before it disappeared, transforming into a brilliantly shining Dark Blue Treasure Pearl, falling toward the mountains below.

What’s that?

Gazing at the dark blue treasure pearl, Shen Yuan really wanted to move closer for a better look.

However, his perspective was completely out of his control, and he couldn’t move closer even if he tried.

Just as he was wondering if the White Jade Turtle Shell had brought him here merely to watch this strange scene, a vast surge of evil qi suddenly appeared from the forest below!

Following that was a heaven-shaking beast roar!

Shen Yuan’s divine sense was momentarily dazed, but before he could recover, a piercing shriek cut through the distance!

A giant avian creature, exuding a terrifying aura, flew from a distant mountain range, blocking out the sky and sun!

A wisp of Shen Yuan’s divine sense felt the aura of these two fearsome entities and immediately felt like he was plunged into an icy abyss.

After these enormous avian and terrifying mountain beasts appeared, their target seemed to be the direction where the dark blue treasure pearl had fallen.

Watching the gigantic avian closing in rapidly, its fierce gaze seemed to have already detected him, Shen Yuan cried out in his heart!

”Let me go back!”

”Quickly let me go back!”

”Damn turtle shell!”

But no matter how much he yelled, the White Jade Turtle Shell remained unmoved.

Bang!

The fierce bird flew up close, its talons suddenly bursting with electricity, launching a thunderous strike at Shen Yuan’s position!

The terrifying thunder spread in the air, and Shen Yuan instinctively closed his eyes.

Yet, the imagined event did not happen. As the thunder slowly dissipated, he found himself still intact, overlooking everything below.

”Hiding behind tricks, dare not reveal your true form, and yet you think you can compete with this king for the treasure?”

The terrifying avian spoke, casting a disdainful glance.

Shen Yuan: ”...”

After the terrifying avian’s strike, it seemed to realize Shen Yuan’s spying divine sense had a special technique, not the true body here, and it did not bother further, flapping its wings towards the mountain forest below!

It was at this moment Shen Yuan noticed that at some point, a giant centipede over a hundred meters long and a nearly-thousand-meter-long immense snake with wings on either side of its head had appeared in the vast mountains below!

These two fearsome creatures also seemed to have detected his divine sense.

But seeing the avian’s thunderous strike that failed, they too lost interest in striking.

At this moment, their focus was entirely on the dark blue treasure pearl that fell into the mountain.

Shen Yuan’s heart was pounding intensely.

He could feel that any of these four fearsome creatures wouldn’t need to make a move; their mere aura could crush him to death!

What realm were these four demon beasts in?

Golden Core?

Or an even higher realm?

Such terrifying beings emerging from the mountain simultaneously to seize the dark blue treasure pearl.

What kind of treasure is that pearl?

The White Jade Turtle Shell brought his divine sense here, wanting him to be a mere spectator, or maybe...

No, no, no!

Thinking of the second possibility, Shen Yuan immediately rejected it in his heart.

These four beasts were truly too formidable. He genuinely feared that the White Jade Turtle Shell brought his divine sense here to compete with them for the treasure pearl.

If these four creatures were truly angered and followed their way to Yangnao Land, let alone the Shen Family, the entire Yangnao Land would probably be in trouble.

Just as Shen Yuan was silently praying for the White Jade Turtle Shell not to act rashly.

Three streams of light suddenly shot from the sky, entering the distant mountain forest!

The three streams of light moved rapidly, arriving above the mountain forest in the blink of an eye.

As the streams of light dissipated, Shen Yuan noticed these were several human cultivators.

One was shrouded in a wide cloak covering the face, standing on a piece of green leaf, a mysterious figure.

One was dressed in coarse clothes, somewhat unkempt, sitting on a giant gourd, an old man.

Another was a woman with white hair and a youthful face, standing with hands behind her back out of thin air.

After the three appeared, casting a glance at the terrifying fierce beasts churning the mountains below, the white-haired woman looked suspiciously in Shen Yuan’s direction.

”Since you’ve come, fellow Daoist, why not reveal yourself?”

”The four of us joining forces should have a chance to repel those four beasts.”

”Once we find this treasure, how about we discuss how to divide it among us?”

Hearing this, Shen Yuan immediately held his breath, not daring to breathe heavily.

The white-haired, child-faced woman frowned slightly when he didn’t respond.

”True Master Hongling, don’t waste your breath.”

”This person hides, using a magical treasure to protect a strand of divine sense here to spy, obviously intending to gain from the situation.”

”He might even take the opportunity to ambush us three later.”

The cloaked person on the verdant leaves spoke coldly.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yuan was speechless.

He now understood that the White Jade Turtle Shell carried his divine sense here, and whether it was the three human cultivators in front or the four terrifying demon beasts below, although they could sense his presence, they could do nothing about it.

This did give him a good opportunity to watch the show.

So, he no longer paid attention to the three, but looked towards the forest below.

The four demon beasts that had rushed down were wantonly destroying everything around, yet they didn’t seem to find the Dark Blue Treasure Pearl that had just fallen.

Shen Yuan was puzzled.

He clearly saw the pearl drop in the forest below; are those four beasts blind, or did the pearl sink deep underground?

How could it not be found?

In the void, the three human cultivators weren’t in a hurry to search, clearly treating the demon beasts below as free labor.

Once any beast found the pearl, the three would definitely act immediately to seize it.

Soon, the four demon beasts below had turned the entire forest upside down without finding the pearl.

The sky-reaching giant serpent with wings suddenly flew into the sky.

It opened its mouth and spewed a pillar of fire towards the forest below!

The raging fire instantly ignited everything in the surrounding forest!

Below, the other demon beasts, caught off guard, jumped around and hastily used techniques to fly into the distant sky.

”Primordial Serpent, you could at least give a warning before setting fire!”

Finally, Shen Yuan saw the true form of the fourth demon beast.

It was a giant one-legged bull, which was speaking.

Shen Yuan felt this one-legged bull looked familiar. After some thought, he realized it should be the Kui Niu recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

The Primordial Serpent, with wings, had a cold female voice.

”The old one surely left some tricks, hiding the Female Essence Wisdom Pearl.”

”I will use the Earth Flame Essence Fire to refine everything within a thousand miles; I don’t believe I won’t find it!”

After the Primordial Serpent finished speaking, it spewed another flame towards another direction.

”This beast truly has no scruples.”

”I remember there’s a place called Cang Mang City in that area, isn’t there?”

”Forget it.”

”I can’t bear to see so many mortals burned to death by this beast.”

In the sky, the scruffy old man sitting on the Wine Gourd spoke leisurely, gently tapping the gourd beneath him.

The large gourd’s stopper suddenly flew out, followed by a torrent of liquid pouring down from the gourd!

Shen Yuan looked curiously, only to see the pouring was not liquid, but countless densely packed flying swords!

Tens of thousands of flying swords poured from the gourd, flying towards the forest below!

Boom!

These flying swords formed a terrifying sword screen in the forest below, shredding the ground!

”Little Mudfish, burn if you want, but don’t burn my swords.”

On the Wine Gourd, the old man shouted at the Primordial Serpent spewing the fire pillar.

The Primordial Serpent seemed wary of him, remaining silent but choosing to avoid that direction.

As Shen Yuan was enjoying these terrifying beings displaying their techniques, a phantom of the White Jade Turtle Shell suddenly appeared in front of him.

Before he could figure out why the White Jade Turtle Shell suddenly appeared,

he saw a red and white imprint, previously transformed from the mini Bai Ze on the shell, slowly start rotating.

Soon, the imprint spun faster and faster, and a strange aura gradually emerged around.

Sensing this aura, the old woman named True Master Hongling looked over curiously.

Her expression was somewhat surprised as she said, ”The Great Derivation Skill?”

”Could fellow Daoist be from the Great Derivation Dao Sect?”

Hearing this, Shen Yuan, not to mention being unable to answer, wouldn’t care even if he could.

Because, at this moment, he saw a faint thread flying from the White Jade Turtle Shell, passing through the blazing fire, linking to a Dark Blue Treasure Pearl, continuously absorbing the pearl’s energy!

Insane!

This turtle shell is truly insane!

There are three human cultivators and four terrifying demon beasts here; any of them could crush me with a sneeze!

Yet this White Jade Turtle Shell dares to steal openly from them!?

As Shen Yuan watched in trepidation, the White Jade Turtle Shell absorbing the pearl’s power, the Dark Blue Treasure Pearl in the sea of fire suddenly trembled and broke the link with the shell, disappearing.

Before Shen Yuan could sigh in relief, a terrifying aura suddenly erupted from below the sea of fire!

Then, a massive mass of dark blue energy, enveloping two figures, shot into the sky!

In an instant, everything around suddenly vanished, with the mountain below turning into a vast snowy expanse.

”A mere illusion, and you dare try to deceive this king!”

Shen Yuan, curious about the snowy landscape, heard the terrifying avian’s voice suddenly ring out!

Accompanied by its voice, the surrounding snowy expanse and everything else cracked inch by inch!

The snowy expanse vanished, with the sea of fire returning to its original state, only the figures enveloped in dark blue energy flew towards the distant mountains.

Shen Yuan’s divine sense focused on the dark blue light mass, his heart suddenly shocked!

He couldn’t help but murmur:

”Ah Nu...”
