Crafting an Immortal Race with Daily Hexagrams

As a few people were slightly puzzled, the Golden Core Demon Cultivator from Celestial Sandalwood Mountain also spoke up.

”I’ve also heard that there is a True Monarch guarding the barrier leading from Yangnao Land to Danzhou. Since you come from Danzhou, it shouldn’t be that simple.”

”Patriarch Shen, do not be careless.”

Upon hearing this, Shen Chongming slightly cupped his hands towards the people in front of him.

”Third Uncle, please entertain the senior from Celestial Sandalwood Mountain for a while.”

”Senior, my fellow Daoists, I will go take a look.”

Shen Wen’an nodded, reaching out to guide the Golden Core cultivator from Celestial Sandalwood Mountain and Old Man Jin to the Immortal Welcoming Platform, while Shen Chongming followed the Array Guardian Cultivator to the outside of the Ren Water Concealing Spirit Array.

”Patriarch, the person is just there.”

The two arrived outside the Ren Water Concealing Spirit Array, and the Array Guardian Cultivator whispered, pointing to a figure standing with hands clasped behind in the void.

Following the direction he pointed, Shen Chongming was full of doubt in his heart.

The figure on the cloud was very unfamiliar.

Dressed in slightly worn hemp clothes and a short shirt, wearing a conical hat, there was no trace of spiritual power fluctuation on him. If not for him comfortably standing on the clouds, Shen Chongming would have thought he was just an ordinary old farmer from the common people walking by the roadside.

But clearly, this was by no means a common old farmer without cultivation.

The person’s realm has obviously reached the stage of Returning to the Essence, far exceeding his own level!

Golden Core?

Or... beyond Golden Core!?

Thoughts flashed through Shen Chongming’s mind like lightning, considering numerous possibilities, yet his body did not show any negligence, hurriedly stepping forward and respectfully cupping his hands: ”Patriarch of the Shen Family, Shen Chongming, pays respects to this senior.”

”Boy, don’t you recognize this old man?”

As soon as his voice fell, the old farmer on the cloud started speaking with a cheerful smile.

This remark caused Shen Chongming to be taken aback, once again carefully observing the old man’s attire and appearance.

A familiar feeling instantly struck him, turning his expression from confusion to astonishment!

”Are you... the True Monarch senior at the barrier!?”

The Elder with a Conical Hat smiled and nodded.

The two had once briefly met many years ago.

At that time, Shen Wen’an had reaped many benefits in Danzhou. Yet, not wanting to return to Yangnao Land immediately, he sent a message to Shen Chongming at the Danzhou Barrier, entrusting him to bring back the ”Li Palace Bing Fire Refining Form Technique” and Spirit Crystals he obtained.

Knowing that a True Monarch of profound power was at the barrier, upon arriving, Shen Chongming dared not scrutinize too much. Moreover, the Elder with a Conical Hat was then merely sitting on a boulder, with his aura integrated with the stone.

He had not seen the old man’s real appearance.

If it weren’t for the Elder with a Conical Hat mentioning it proactively, he simply wouldn’t have recognized his identity.

Seeing the Elder with a Conical Hat admit it, a huge wave surged in Shen Chongming’s heart!

The intentions of this True Monarch, whether enemy or ally, were unknown as he came to the Shen Family during the Third Uncle’s Golden Core Assembly. What could his purpose be?

”Little guy, is this how a dignified Golden Core Family treats their guests?”

”This old man comes from afar to offer my congratulations, yet I’m left here drinking the northwest wind in the air?”

Upon seeing Shen Chongming stand there stupefied without speaking, the Elder with a Conical Hat jokingly spoke with a smile.

Hearing this, Shen Chongming suddenly snapped back to reality.

Made a fuss over nothing...

With the opponent being a Nascent Soul True Monarch, if he intended to target the Shen Family, there wouldn’t be such need for trouble; a single palm strike could obliterate Yunshui City into thin air.

”Senior, forgive me, I... I was truly too shocked!”

”Please, come inside!”

Apologizing with cupped hands, Shen Chongming hurriedly gestured to invite the elder into the grand array.

On the Immortal Welcoming Platform outside the Shen Family Manor, Shen Wen’an, the Golden Core Demon Cultivator from Celestial Sandalwood Mountain, and Jiang Xiuqi sat opposite, drinking tea and discussing Dao.

Meanwhile, Old Man Jin and Hua Qing sat with Luo Yao and a group of Fetal Breathing Perfection Realm cultivators from Luoxia Mountain, chatting and laughing.

Shen Chongming, on his side, led the Elder with a Conical Hat from the void.

Feeling his aura, Shen Wen’an slowly rose and said, ”Chongming is back.”

Hearing this, Jiang Xiuqi and the Golden Core Demon Cultivator from Celestial Sandalwood Mountain also stood, wanting to see who this mysterious person who came from Danzhou really was.

Under the gaze of the three, two figures descended from the clouds.

Upon suddenly seeing the attire of the Elder with a Conical Hat beside Shen Chongming, Shen Wen’an’s expression froze, and the teacup in his hand was immediately crushed.

”Wen’an, little friend?”

Jiang Xiuqi looked at him in confusion.

Shen Wen’an murmured in disbelief, ”How could it be him?”

Just as his voice fell, Shen Chongming and the Elder with a Conical Hat had already landed on the Immortal Welcoming Platform.

Shen Wen’an immediately suppressed the surprise and doubt in his heart and quickly moved forward to greet them.

Jiang Xiuqi and the Golden Core Demon Cultivator from Celestial Sandalwood Mountain behind him clearly also noticed the extraordinariness of the Elder with a Conical Hat, and followed up.

”Greetings, senior.”

At the edge of the Immortal Welcoming Platform, Shen Wen’an respectfully cupped his hands.

Seeing this, not far away, Luo Yao, Old Man Jin, and others were somewhat perplexed.

One must understand that Shen Wen’an’s cultivation is now that of a Golden Core Sword Immortal, someone capable of bearing this title ”senior” is generally only someone like Jiang Xiuqi, who is both a senior in age and at a comparable realm.

Other unfamiliar Golden Core cultivators probably only dared to address him as Daoist friend.

”Boy, we meet again.”

The Elder with a Conical Hat smiled, accepting his greeting with composure.

”I came today, also entrusted by someone, to deliver you a gift.”

As he spoke, the Elder with a Conical Hat took out a Storage Bag from his bosom and handed it to Shen Wen’an.

”Having delivered the item, it’s time for me to return.”

Before Shen Wen’an could say anything, the figure of the Elder with a Conical Hat flickered and transformed into a wisp of breeze, vanishing before everyone.

Seeing this scene, both Jiang Xiuqi and the Golden Core Demon Cultivator from Celestial Sandalwood Mountain were left in astonishment.
