Crafting an Immortal Race with Daily Hexagrams

Chapter 385: Chapter 205: Golden Core Assembly (Part 5)

”It’s been nearly twenty years...”

Shen Chongming spoke with a hint of sadness.

He naturally could not remain as indifferent as Huang Lingshan.

Huang Lingshan nodded slightly, contemplating for a moment before speaking.

”There’s no need to tell others about my matters, it’s enough that the two of you know.”

”Why?”

”If Mother knew that Aunt is still alive, she would surely be happy!”

Shen Chongming questioned, confused.

Yet, Huang Lingshan only smiled faintly and said, ”And then?”

”Should I reunite with my sister, only to watch her lifespan run out a hundred or two hundred years later, dying in front of me?”

”Chongming, your aunt is telling you today, everything in this world has a cause and effect...”

”Some causes and effects, once entangled with, are not necessarily good.”

”The reason I reveal my identity to you two is merely to dispel your doubts. Publicizing my relationship with your mother may not be a good thing.”

Shen Chongming wanted to say something more, but Shen Wen’an stopped him and said, ”Listen to your aunt, the Dao is mysterious, and some things are truly beyond our comprehension at our current realm.”

He had witnessed the Golden Nature of the Golden Core and knew well that a Golden Core expert was on a completely different level from a Qi Cultivation and Fetal Breathing Realm cultivator.

Golden Core experts could easily glimpse the Dao’s operations, even peering into their own destinies.

He believed that Huang Lingshan must have a reason for this arrangement, though it was not convenient to elaborate on it.

”Alright, the two of you wait here for a moment, I’ll first deliver a gift to that Old Man Jiang’s Dao field.”

As Huang Lingshan spoke, her figure transformed into a blue Sword Aura, flying towards the peak where Jiang Xiuqi resided.

This assembly continued until dusk before it ended.

The Fetal Breathing Realm cultivators who came to Luoxia Mountain were not one thousand but at least several hundred.

These people represented the Immortal Sects and powers behind them, acknowledging Jiang Xiuqi’s identity and recognizing that from this day forward, Luoxia Mountain was truly a Golden Core Immortal Sect.

At the foot of the mountain, in an elegant wooden house, the Sect Leader of Luoxia Mountain, Le Zhiyi, was sitting inside, having tea with an elderly man with white hair and beard.

Though the old man was chatting with Le Zhiyi off and on, his mind had long wandered beyond the Ninth Heaven.

”With the strength of our Cyan Emperor Sect, if it were the Luoxia Mountain of old, perhaps there was a chance of forming an alliance.”

”But the present Luoxia Mountain is not what it used to be. Why would the Golden Core Ancestor of Luoxia Mountain want to meet with me alone?”

The old man was Jiang Huaqing, an ancestor of the Cyan Emperor Sect with power just reaching the Fetal Breathing Perfection Realm.

At this moment, Jiang Huaqing held a teacup, looking rather absent-minded.

Le Zhiyi looked at him without speaking further.

She understood very well that Jiang Huaqing’s mind must be filled with questions about why his uncle wanted to see him alone, and whether there was something in the Cyan Emperor Sect that a Golden Core Realm expert coveted.

He probably couldn’t hear anything else.

The two sat in awkward silence for about the time it takes for a cup of tea, and then three figures flew from a distant peak.

Seeing this, Le Zhiyi slowly stood and went outside to greet them.

Jiang Huaqing followed out.

As the three figures approached, they were Jiang Xiuqi, the Lingshan Sword Immortal, and Shen Wen’an.

In Danzhou, the Lingshan Sword Immortal rarely appeared, so Jiang Huaqing did not recognize her at first.

But having lived for several hundred years, he understood well that anyone accompanying the Golden Core Realm Jiang Xiuqi might very well also be a Golden Core Realm expert!

He had never seen Shen Wen’an before, assuming him to be a junior of the Lingshan Sword Immortal.

”The old man greets Elder Jiang, and this senior...”

Before Jiang Xiuqi’s breakthrough, he could call him ”Fellow Daoist.”

But now that he was a Golden Core, the address naturally had to change to ”Elder.”

”Sect Leader Jiang, please come inside.”

Jiang Xiuqi said with a faint smile, then walked straight into the wooden house.

Once everyone was seated, Jiang Huaqing suddenly noticed something odd!

The person he assumed to be a junior of the Lingshan Sword Immortal, Shen Wen’an, casually sat next to Jiang Xiuqi!

This...

Such a scene secretly startled Jiang Huaqing, and he took another closer look at Shen Wen’an.

”He’s indeed at the Middle Stage of Fetal Breathing...”

”Could it be that this boy’s status is prestigious?”

Jiang Huaqing pondered but felt that even a son of the Upper Three Sects’ Sect Leader wouldn’t have the standing to sit equally with Golden Core Realm experts.

In all of Danzhou, was there a younger person with a higher status than a son of the Upper Three Sects’ Sect Leader?

Seeing his cautious demeanor, Jiang Xiuqi smiled slightly and said, ”Sect Leader Jiang, allow me to make the introductions.”

”This here is the Lingshan Sword Immortal of the Cyan Ruo Sword House.”

He first introduced Huang Lingshan’s identity.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Huaqing’s heart quivered, and he hurriedly stood up, respectfully bowing to Huang Lingshan, saying, ”So it’s the Lingshan Sword Immortal. My eyes are unrefined, please forgive me, Sword Immortal.”

Huang Lingshan spoke calmly, ”No need for formalities, Sect Leader Jiang. I rarely travel in Danzhou, so it’s normal for you not to recognize me.”

Jiang Huaqing nodded quickly, not daring to sit down, and turned his gaze to Shen Wen’an, waiting for Jiang Xiuqi’s introduction.

”This is my intimate young friend Shen Wen’an, a benefactor to both me and the Lingshan Sword Immortal.”

”Today, I troubled Sect Leader Jiang to wait because Young Friend Shen has something to ask of Sect Leader Jiang.”

A cultivator at the Middle Stage of Fetal Breathing, a young friend and benefactor to two Golden Core experts?

Jiang Huaqing’s mind became somewhat disordered.

After realizing this, he quickly bowed and said, ”I see, Fellow Daoist Shen.”

Shen Wen’an returned the bow respectfully.

After some customary exchanges, Jiang Huaqing finally returned to his seat, glanced at Shen Wen’an, and couldn’t help but bow again, asking, ”I wonder what matter Fellow Daoist Shen needs assistance with that I or the Cyan Emperor Sect can help?”
