Crafting an Immortal Race with Daily Hexagrams

Chapter 203: Chapter 175: Seven Sages Mountain Secret Realm (Part 5)

After a year of preparations, since Luoxia Mountain had chosen to take action, they naturally made thorough preparations.

Hearing this, Shen Wenxing didn’t continue to persuade further.

He knew very well that Wei Qiuling was a person with strong opinions, and if she said so, she must be confident.

Wei Qiuling turned around, once again cupping her hands in salute to everyone, then waved to summon a breeze, riding the wind away.

The Shen family members returned to the courtyard. Shen Wen’an hesitated for a moment, looked at Shen Yuan and Shen Wenxing, and said, ”Father, I’m planning to go out for a while.”

Shen Yuan was slightly taken aback, then nodded with a smile.

”Go ahead, Qiuling said it wasn’t necessary for you to take action, so just stay on the side. In case something unexpected happens, you can rush to help.”

Shen Wen’an nodded and then left the estate by sword control.

Watching his retreating figure, a smile appeared on Shen Wenxing’s face. He turned to look at his father, only to find a hint of confusion on his face.

”Ah Die, what are you thinking about?”

Shen Yuan shook his head slightly.

On the day of Shen Wen’an and Wei Qiuling’s wedding, a hexagram indicating ”Tripod Star of Fortune and Prosperity·Descendants’ Trigram” emerged from the White Jade Turtle Shell in his Sea of Consciousness, suggesting that a Qilin’Er was to be born in the Shen Family.

The couple, Shen Wen’an and Wei Qiuling, both being Fetal Breathing Realm cultivators, and quite talented, naturally it wouldn’t be surprising for them to have a ”Qilin’Er.”

However, it’s been more than half a year, and Wei Qiuling seems to have shown no signs.

What’s happening?

Could the hexagram from the White Jade Turtle Shell actually be wrong?

Shen Yuan walked with hands behind him towards the back courtyard, meeting his wife, Hu Yufen, at the door to their room.

”Qiuling has left?”

Shen Yuan nodded: ”There’s a lot of sect duties. She cannot stay at home indefinitely.”

Entering the room, the couple sat together, and Shen Yuan habitually picked up the ”Little Rejection Divination Scripture” from the desk and started flipping through it.

Hu Yufen teased with a smile, ”I see you’re always fiddling with those things, is it of any use?”

Shen Yuan, while earnestly perusing the book, said, ”Nonsense.”

”There’s profound knowledge in these divination hexagrams; mastering it can reveal the future, predicting fortune or misfortune.”

Unable to resist, Hu Yufen laughed, ”So, has it shown you anything?”

”Weren’t you confidently saying we’d have a grandchild soon? So, is it the eldest or the third one’s family?”

Hearing his wife, Shen Yuan was momentarily taken aback, then a spark of insight flashed in his mind!

”Caught in the form, caught in the form...”

He murmured helplessly, slowly closing the book in his hands.

After the Descendants’ Trigram appeared, he naturally associated it with Shen Wen’an and his wife, forgetting that he had three sons!

Now that neither the eldest nor the third family has any occurrence, and since the White Jade Turtle Shell never errs, there is only one possibility!

The second son, Shen Wenyan!

That rebel has been in Danzhou for years, with no news for a long time, yet the White Jade Turtle Shell frequently reveals hexagrams about him recently.

Could this ”Descendants’ Trigram” apply to him?

Could it be that the rebel married a concubine in Danzhou and even had a child?

The more Shen Yuan thought about it, the more plausible it seemed.

Immediately, he put down the book and hurried towards the front courtyard.

”Where are you going?”

”Acting all mysterious...”

Hu Yufen shouted from behind, but Shen Yuan didn’t respond.

In the front courtyard, he found Shen Wenxing, who was about to set out.

”Eldest.”

Shen Wenxing halted and turned, ”Father.”

”Eldest, you’ll need to seek out those friendly Immortal Sects allied with our Shen Family; even if it costs us, we must have them find a way to locate that little brat and bring him back.”

Seeing his father’s grave expression, Shen Wenxing was taken aback, then said, ”I was planning to let Vajra Sect and the Celestial Talisman Sect help find news on Ah Nu after the annual rites.”

”Rest assured, father.”

Shen Yuan nodded.

In the past, using the White Jade Turtle Shell, he could determine that Shen Wenyan was alive, so he wasn’t particularly worried.

But now, suspecting that Shen Wenyan might have married a concubine in Danzhou and even had a ”Qilin’Er,” Shen Yuan felt an added sense of unease.

Danzhou is perilous; any mishap there would be beyond the Shen Family’s reach.

If his suspicion is correct, only by bringing the couple back to Yangnao Land can they be somewhat safer.

After all, currently in Yangnao Land, the Shen Family still holds notable control.

”It’s late, do you have somewhere to go?”

Suppressing his thoughts, Shen Yuan inquired.

Shen Wenxing nodded, ”The annual rites are approaching, I plan to have someone notify Chongming and have him come back.”

”Now that Hundred Beasts Mountain and the Western Wilderness Barbarian Race are showing weakness, there’s no need for him to guard the mountain defense; Brother Qi is enough.”

”That brat is already thirteen; after all these years in the mountains, he needs to come back and learn some things with us.”

Shen Yuan thought it over and found it reasonable.

In previous years, due to the Shen Family’s manpower shortage and after Huang Qingzhou’s death in battle, Shen Chongming had no choice, as the Young Clan Leader, but to go to the mountain’s frontline to assume Huang Qingzhou’s duties.

Now that Hundred Beasts Mountain seems to have ceased resistance and doesn’t intend to encroach on Hidden Dragon Mountain, and there are a whole group of Poisonous Miasma Centipedes in the mountains, they should suffice to deal with any emergencies.

However...

Shen Yuan pondered briefly, then said, ”Chongming was the same age as Chonghong when he went to the mountains, wasn’t he?”

Shen Wenxing paused, seeming to understand his implication.

”Father, you mean to have Chonghong spend a few years in the mountains as well?”

”That sounds splendid.”

”That brat has been training at home, and it’s high time he sees some blood and gains experience.”

Safety wouldn’t be much of a concern with his uncle Huang Qi and so many clan soldiers on the mountain frontline.
