Crafting an Immortal Race with Daily Hexagrams

Chapter 423: Chapter 212: The First Bloodline Divine Power (Part 5)

The Mo Lin Guard cultivator cupped his hands and spoke, ”We received a secret message a few days ago.”

”In Southern Border, aside from the Northern Territory, most other powers have received a covert warning from the Central Domain, reportedly issued by the decree of four True Monarchs themselves.”

Upon hearing this, Li Songyan and Wushi Ao both had a subtle change in their expressions.

On the surface, there are only four Nascent Soul True Monarchs in the Southern Border.

The powers behind the four True Monarchs occupy the richest and most expansive Central Domain of the entire Southern Border.

”What did the True Monarchs’ decree say?”

Wushi Ao spoke in a deep voice.

The news of the Void Combination Corridor Array being breached had already spread widely.

Those forces south of the Northern Territory surely have received the message long ago.

Yet, to this day, none of the other Golden Core influences show any intention to intervene, which is inherently suspicious.

”As the Prince guessed, the four True Monarchs warned other powers that, aside from the Northern Territory, other powers are not allowed to cross the Void Combination Corridor Array and meddle in the matters of Yangnao Land.”

The Mo Lin Guard cultivator replied.

”Did the True Monarchs really say that!?”

Li Songyan looked incredulous upon hearing it.

The Mo Lin Guard cultivator nodded and continued, ”The Mo Lin Guard has verified this multiple times in recent days, and this matter should not be false.”

Wushi Ao’s eyes were deep, rubbing his palms and murmuring, ”To have the True Monarchs issue such a decree...”

”The waters of Yangnao Land are likely far deeper than we imagine.”

Li Songyan nodded in agreement, his expression serious, ”Prince, it seems that we forces of the Northern Territory have become mere pawns.”

”There is an extraordinary figure plotting something behind all this.”

Wushi Ao chuckled and shook his head.

”I finally understand why the Void Combination Corridor Array suddenly had a breach.”

”Now it seems that it was deliberate by someone.”

”Prince, the decree has been delivered; I shall return first.” With that, the Mo Lin Guard cultivator said no more to the two of them, slowly fading from the hall and disappearing entirely.

After a moment of silence, Wushi Ao spoke, ”General Li, could you go to the Western Wilderness and say Fushan Country wishes to ally with them to attack the four cities of the Shen Family.”

Attacking the Shen Family?

Li Songyan looked at him in surprise.

”Prince, this...”

The two had just been discussing holding back from taking action to prevent other forces from reaping benefits.

Now, obtaining this information, Li Songyan was puzzled as to why his Prince would suddenly give this order.

Wushi Ao only smiled without answering, speaking calmly, ”General, bring generous gifts on this trip, and just tell those fools to cooperate with our Fushan Country.”

Seemingly understanding something, Li Songyan chuckled, cupped his hands, and said, ”I accept the command!”

...

Yunshui City.

In the elegant courtyard, Wei Qiuling sat quietly in the pavilion, watching a small figure in the yard wielding a wooden sword, practicing with great enthusiasm.

This little one was her and Shen Wen’an’s son, Shen Chongzhen.

Back then, both were cultivators at the Fetal Breathing Realm, and after Shen Chongzhen was born, he inherited her Wood Attribute Spirit Root of decent quality.

Perhaps influenced by his father, the little guy showed an obsession with the sword as soon as he turned three.

Wei Qiuling had no hesitation, deciding that once he completed Body Tempering, he would begin training with the ”Supreme Mysterious Sword Scripture.”

With this boy’s obsession with swords, coupled with a Sword Cultivator father to guide him, it was hoped that one day they might indeed become a ”father-and-son pair of Sword Immortals.”

”Chongzhen, it’s time for a break.”

The scorching sun was now directly overhead, and seeing her son’s forehead and nose beaded with sweat, Wei Qiuling softly called out.

The little guy was very obedient, sheathing his wooden sword and enthusiastically running over.

”Mother, did I practice well?”

Taking the tea offered by his mother, Shen Chongzhen asked with his rosy face turned upwards.

Wei Qiuling took out a handkerchief, gently wiping the sweat from his face, and smiled, ”Didn’t you say only your father is qualified to guide you in the Sword Dao?”

”Mother has no say in the matter.”

The little guy pouted, ”Mother is so petty, holding grudges...”

”You’ve got it exactly right, that’s just who your mother is.”

Wei Qiuling pinched his nose and smiled, ”Wait till your father comes out of seclusion and you can ask him.”

Shen Chongzhen put down the teacup in his hand and looked up at the room where his father, Shen Wen’an, was in seclusion, his expression somewhat unfamiliar.

He had no memories of his father, as he had gone into seclusion shortly after Chongzhen’s birth.

From what his mother had told him, he knew his father was a very formidable Sword Cultivator.

”Ah Die, when will you come out of seclusion?”

”There’s no one at home to guide my sword practice...”

Wei Qiuling hearing this, smiled gently and said, ”Your grandfather also knows Sword Skill, and so does your Brother Chongming...”

Before she could finish speaking, her eyebrows furrowed, and she turned abruptly to look towards the direction behind her!

Seeing this, Shen Chongzhen hurried forward, looking up, ”Mother, is Ah Die coming out of seclusion?”

Wei Qiuling paid him no mind, simply sensing the strange aura emanating from Shen Wen’an’s seclusion room, murmuring:

”Is this the Realm...”

Her cultivation had now reached the Middle Stage of Fetal Breathing.

Though she did not comprehend the Realm, she could feel the peculiar aura emanating from within the room exerting a faint pressure on her Immortal Embryo.

”Chongzhen, go call your grandfather and Brother Chongming.”

After a brief moment of thought, Wei Qiuling leaned down and spoke with earnestness.

The little guy nodded vigorously and dashed out.

Shortly after, Shen Yuan arrived holding Shen Chongzhen and Shen Chongming in the courtyard of the couple.

”Father.”

Wei Qiuling called out.
