Crafting an Immortal Race with Daily Hexagrams

Chapter 377: Chapter 204: Underworld Qi Fusion_3

Go to Danzhou?

Shen Yuan and Shen Wenxing were a bit suspicious after hearing this.

Facing their gazes, Shen Wen’an explained, ”In the past, Lingshan Sword Immortal said that when Chongming breaks through to Fetal Breathing, I should take him to Cyan Ruo Sword House.”

”She wants to see Chongming.”

”This time coincides with Elder Jiang’s Golden Core Assembly, and Chongming has also broken through, so it’s just right to take him and my mother along.”

”Elder Sword Immortal wants to see me?” Shen Chongming looked puzzled.

Although he often heard the name ”Lingshan Sword Immortal,” he never had any interaction with her.

He didn’t understand why she specifically asked to see him by name.

However, the Shen Family had received many favors and gifts from the Lingshan Sword Immortal.

Now that she has asked to see him, there was no reason to refuse.

”When does Third Uncle plan to set off?”

Shen Wen’an pondered for a moment and said, ”There is still half a month until Elder Jiang’s Golden Core Assembly, and your Third Aunt has not been feeling well these days, so let’s wait a little longer.”

”Coincidentally, Chongxuan sent a few worldly sword techniques in these days, and I will first try to help transform them into sword techniques that cultivators can practice.”

Shen Chongming nodded, and they took the opportunity of this rare gathering to have a brief discussion about the current situation of the Shen Family.

...

Western Wilderness.

After the Shen Family delivered the news of the Corpse Cultivators’ appearance to Fengxian County, Qiyun Valley indeed paid great attention to this matter.

Because over the years, Luoxia Mountain had no time to care for the Western Wilderness territory, Qiyun Valley and the Liu Family under its rule have seized 70% of the Western Wilderness lands.

The people of the Western Wilderness on this 70% land, combined with the Spirit Fields and some Spirit Ores, brought great benefits to Liu Family and Qiyun Valley.

Now that a new threat suddenly appeared, they naturally wouldn’t let the so-called Corpse Cultivators destroy everything they had painstakingly built.

As the leader of Qiyun Valley, upon receiving the news, Li Heshan immediately dispatched a large number of people to the Western Wilderness for investigation, and they finally tracked down the whereabouts of that group of Corpse Cultivators.

In deep winter, the vast grasslands were covered with snow, the cold wind raging.

A group of disciples from Qiyun Valley and cultivators from the Liu Family stood silently on the hill, looking at the massive Western Wilderness tribe attacked ahead.

”Immortal Master, it has been confirmed that this is the Hunyu Tribe, which at its peak had 100,000 members. Three years ago, our Liu Family sent people here.”

”Following your instructions, our family’s cultivators taught the cultivation technique to the Hunyu Tribe.”

”The last patrol of the tribe saw that the Hunyu Tribe had given birth to eleven cultivators at the Qi Cultivation Realm, but now... all 100,000 tribe members have vanished.”

Liu Bufu, the patriarch of the Liu Family, respectfully reported the current situation to Li Heshan.

Li Heshan, dressed in a moon-white long robe with a snow-white fox fur draped over his shoulder, calmly looked at the endless tents ahead, his expression heavy.

”The Shen Family informed us that this group of Corpse Cultivators possesses the ability to refine corpse puppets using the common people.”

”For every hundred people, they can refine one Iron Corpse comparable to a cultivator at the Fourth or Fifth Layer of Qi Cultivation. If cultivators are used as materials, the refined corpse puppets are even stronger.”

He murmured softly.

The surrounding disciples of Qiyun Valley and cultivators of the Liu Family all wore grim expressions after hearing this.

Refining one comparable to the Fourth or Fifth Layer of Qi Cultivation with every hundred people...

The entire Hunyu Tribe had 100,000 people, meaning those Corpse Cultivators could at least refine over a thousand corpse puppets!

And this is only what has been discovered.

The Western Wilderness is vast, who knows if those Corpse Cultivators took other tribes’ people before attacking the Hunyu Tribe?

”Senior Brother, this matter may indeed be difficult to handle.”

Among the crowd, a female cultivator from Qiyun Valley spoke in a low voice.

This female cultivator was Zhongli Qing, who accompanied Li Heshan to Yangnao Land years ago.

But later, Pei Zhao, to give his daughter training experience, had Li Heshan take Pei Yuwan to Yangnao Land, and Zhongli Qing stayed in the sect to cultivate.

”The Western Wilderness possesses numerous resources, and over the years, we at Qiyun Valley have selected many Immortal Seedlings with Spirit Roots from the people of the Western Wilderness.”

These Corpse Cultivators are truly troublesome, but we at Qiyun Valley absolutely cannot give up.”

A gleam of determination flashed in Li Heshan’s eyes as he spoke solemnly.

The decline of Qiyun Valley was growing more apparent, but after the destruction of Hundred Beasts Mountain, the Western Wilderness became a land without a lord.

Luoxia Mountain, due to an earlier crisis, did not have the time to care, allowing Qiyun Valley to take sole possession of the vast Western Wilderness.

Over the years, Qiyun Valley has plundered many Immortal Seedlings with Spirit Roots from the Western Wilderness and discovered some Heavenly and Earthly Treasures and Spirit Ores.

These search results finally allowed Li Heshan to see some hope.

He was naturally unwilling to miss this hard-won opportunity.

Zhongli Qing nodded.

”As per Senior Brother’s instructions, I have requested reinforcements from the sect, and they have responded that they will soon send strong cultivators and disciples.”

”By then, we will surely be able to eliminate these Corpse Cultivators in one fell swoop.”

Li Heshan nodded.

News has spread in Danzhou that Jiang Xiuqi of Luoxia Mountain has broken through the Golden Core Realm, directly promoting Luoxia Mountain to the status of Golden Core Immortal Sect.

Along with this news, another message spread.

That after becoming a Golden Core Immortal Sect, Luoxia Mountain is likely to sweep through Qishan, subduing all the major Immortal Sects of Qishan to become the sole hegemon of Qishan.

Li Heshan does not quite believe this rumor.

Luoxia Mountain now has a strong presence in the Golden Core Realm, but ultimately lacks the true heritage of a Golden Core Immortal Sect, and is unlikely to easily risk offending all Immortal Sect Influences in Qishan to dominate the entire Qishan Range.

However, he also understands that this speculation only represents the present.

In the future, Luoxia Mountain will surely not be satisfied with sharing the treasure land of Qishan Range with various Immortal Sects and noble families.
