Crafting an Immortal Race with Daily Hexagrams

The technique of the Elder with a Conical Hat, transforming into a gentle breeze and disappearing without a trace, is something a Golden Core Cultivator cannot achieve.

”Fellow Daoist Shen, that senior was...”

The demon cultivator Feng Changyou from Celestial Sandalwood Mountain pondered briefly before asking seriously.

Jiang Xiuqi was also very curious about the identity of that elder.

Shen Wen’an squeezed the storage bag in his hand, then handed it to Shen Chongming, turned to the two and cupped his hands in salute.

”The senior just now was the True Monarch expert stationed at the barrier, mentioned by Fellow Daoist Feng.”

With these words, the entire Immortal Welcoming Platform fell into silence.

After a long moment—

”Wow...we had the fortune to meet a Nascent Soul True Monarch just now!”

The Mouse Demon Jin Elder swallowed hard, incredulous.

Luo Yao and the others remained speechless in astonishment.

Luoxia Mountain is only a newly established Golden Core Influence. On usual days in Danzhou, they might meet a Golden Core Cultivator, but hardly anyone in the Purple Mansion Realm, let alone a Nascent Soul True Monarch.

The Old Man with a Conical Hat who appeared at the Immortal Welcoming Platform looked just like an ordinary old farmer; no one associated him with someone as mighty as a Nascent Soul True Monarch.

Jiang Xiuqi and Feng Changyou were equally shocked inside.

Especially Feng Changyou, recalling the words of that Nascent Soul True Monarch, felt a strong sense of doubt in his heart.

A Nascent Soul True Monarch, entrusted by someone, came all this way to deliver a congratulatory gift for a newly minted Golden Core Sword Immortal...

Does the Shen Family have such terrifying backing hidden behind it?

To command a Nascent Soul True Monarch, it must at least be another Nascent Soul True Monarch, and likely stronger than the farmer-like Nascent Soul True Monarch just now.

With these speculations in mind, Feng Changyou’s gaze towards Shen Wen’an changed again.

”Third Uncle, this...”

Shen Chongming, having taken the storage bag, was about to say something but was interrupted by Shen Wen’an.

He smiled lightly and said, ”No need to think too much, almost everyone is here, let the assembly begin.”

Shen Chongming inclined his head, took the storage bag, and left.

...

After the Golden Core Assembly ended, Shen Wen’an and Shen Chongming hurried to the Black Water Pavilion.

On the second floor, the three of them sat around a desk, with two storage bags placed in front of them.

”Grandfather, Third Uncle, this storage bag contains congratulatory gifts from all the affiliated clans under our Shen Family rule, as well as from the fellow Daoists of Luoxia Mountain and Celestial Sandalwood Mountain.”

”And this storage bag...”

Shen Chongming picked up the storage bag given by the Elder with a Conical Hat and looked at Shen Wen’an.

Shen Wen’an took the storage bag, his expression somewhat serious.

”Father, today at the assembly, the Nascent Soul True Monarch expert, who oversees the barrier at Danzhou and Yangnao Land, came.”

”He said he was entrusted by someone and brought this.”

Upon hearing this, Shen Yuan was a bit surprised.

”Have you looked at what’s inside?”

Facing his gaze, Shen Wen’an shook his head.

”Open it and take a look.”

Following Shen Yuan’s words, Shen Wen’an cautiously opened the storage bag.

He then took out an ancient bamboo slip and a jade scroll from it.

The three of them looked at the two items in front of them, all filled with confusion.

After a moment of silence, Shen Yuan slowly opened the bamboo slip.

The content on the bamboo slip was not much, but since it was all in ancient characters, its meaning was hard to discern. Shen Yuan looked at it for a long time before he roughly understood its meaning.

Closing the bamboo slip, he frowned tightly.

”Grandfather, what does it say?”

Shen Chongming asked curiously.

Organizing his thoughts, Shen Yuan spoke in a serious tone: ”The bamboo slip talks about something called ’Dao Source’.”

Dao Source?

Shen Wen’an and Shen Chongming both looked puzzled.

”I saw this thing in another book as well.”

Saying this, he took out the book that Shen Li had Jiang Xiuqi deliver via Golden Toad, finding the record about Dao Source.

This book contained information overheard by Shen Li using the Puppet Centipede from two people trapped in the Stone Hall of Illusion Dragon’s mansion.

Those two came from a force in the Central Province called Tribulation Fire Sect.

”Father, did the bamboo slip say what the ’Dao Source’ actually does?”

Shen Wen’an contemplated for a moment and asked.

Shen Yuan shook his head slightly: ”This bamboo slip is very ancient, presumably passed down from ancient times, like a legend.”

”However...”

He frowned slightly, his gaze turned to the jade scroll.

Intuitively, Shen Yuan felt that the jade scroll should also be related to Dao Source.

After a slight pause, he picked up the jade scroll, imitating Divine Sense to watch it carefully.

After a long while, his Divine Sense exited from the jade scroll, his eyes flashed with a glint of light, and his aura had slightly changed.

Various signs showed that after reading the content of the jade scroll, his state of mind underwent great fluctuations.

Seeing this, the uncle and nephew exchanged a glance. Just as Shen Chongming was about to speak, Shen Yuan’s aura suddenly returned to calm, but a faint chuckle appeared on his face.

”Interesting.”

”The power behind this has abilities beyond the heavens and earth. What virtue does the Shen Family have to receive such favor?”

Such peculiar words made the uncle and nephew even more confused.

”Grandfather, what exactly is in the jade scroll?”

Shen Chongming couldn’t help but ask.

Shen Yuan slowly picked up the jade scroll and handed it over.

”Three Immortal Mountains.”

”The jade scroll records content related to the Three Immortal Mountains of the East Sea.”

”According to the jade scroll, the Three Immortal Mountains of the East Sea were the most powerful Immortal Sects of ancient times, supposedly having beings beyond Nascent Soul True Monarchs.”

”Among the three Immortal Mountains, Beichen Immortal Mountain holds the Dao Source Supreme Treasure ’Beichen Emperor’s Chariot’, Mixed Cave Immortal Mountain holds the Dao Source Supreme Treasure ’Mixed Cave True Text’, and Kunwu Immortal Mountain controls the Supreme Treasure ’Nine Lights Treasure Tree’.”

Upon hearing his words, Shen Wen’an’s brow furrowed instantly.
