Crafting an Immortal Race with Daily Hexagrams

”Thank you, Elder, for coming to the rescue.”

Wushi Qianrou bowed, sounding relieved.

Shen Wen’an handed her the Netherworld Dog Filth Furnace and frowned, asking, ”Why did you come to Yangnao Land alone?”

”Where is Chongxu?”

Upon hearing this, Wushi Qianrou’s expression changed slightly.

”Isn’t the Master at the Shen Family?”

Shen Wen’an’s heart sank suddenly upon hearing this.

”Chongxu hasn’t returned to the Southern Border?”

At this point, both realized something had gone wrong.

”Let’s talk when we get back to Yunshui City.”

After a brief thought, Shen Wen’an took a step forward, transforming into a sword light flying towards Yunshui City.

Wushi Qianrou, after a moment of daze, immediately followed.

In the chamber, Shen Yuan gathered with Shen Chongming and others. Wushi Qianrou looked at everyone and bowed, saying, ”It has been half a year since the Master left last time and has not returned to Yangquan Mountain.”

”Moreover, I... I can feel that the connection with the Master has been severed.”

Half a year...

With a heavy expression, Shen Chongming said, ”Chongxu left three months ago, considering the time, he should have returned long ago.”

He turned to look at Shen Yuan, who was frowning deeply.

”Grandfather...”

Shen Yuan sighed heavily, ”It seems that kid really encountered trouble...”

At this moment, he finally realized where the unease he had felt recently came from.

It must be that someone ambushed Shen Chongxu on his way back from Yangnao Land to the Southern Border.

And the one who acted was well-prepared, not only concealing the secrets of heaven but also disrupting the lines of causality, leaving him unaware.

The Nascent Soul True Monarch Luo Tianxing at the Danzhou Barrier once said that Golden Core cultivators practicing the Path of Great Derivation could easily conceal the secrets of heaven, evading his perception.

In the Purple Mansion Realm, it’s even easier to achieve this.

In such a confusing situation, figuring out who targeted Shen Chongxu is indeed not easy.

The only thing he can confirm now is that Shen Chongxu is still alive.

”The Shen Family will handle Chongxu’s matter, you can go back first.”

”The Bai Xuan Sect is Chongxu’s effort; it cannot be destroyed just like that.”

After some thought, Shen Yuan spoke up.

Upon hearing this, Wushi Qianrou respectfully bowed.

”Be humble after returning, and just guard the Bai Xuan Sect well.”

”Recently, the Southern Border is not peaceful, and do not get involved in troubles.”

Wushi Qianrou nodded again and then turned into a blood mist, heading towards the Southern Border.

In the chamber, Shen Wen’an pondered for a moment and then spoke, ”The Lord of Fushan, Wushi Puppet, has already arrived in Yangnao Land. My guess is that Golden Core cultivators from other forces will also arrive shortly.”

”It seems Chongxu’s previous predictions were all true.”

Shen Yuan and Shen Chongming nodded involuntarily upon hearing this.

”What does Grandfather think these Golden Core cultivators came to Yangnao Land for?”

After a pause, he continued, ”Surely, they are not planning to target my Shen Family?”

Shen Yuan sneered and shook his head.

The Shen Family has been in the limelight these years, but not enough to make the Six Major Golden Core Powers of the Southern Border join forces against us.

The reason those Golden Core old fellows tore up the old agreement and descended upon Yangnao Land must be due to other motives.

”No need to expend heart spirit on this speculation.”

”Chongming, you go to Beidi County later.”

Shen Yuan spoke softly.

Shen Chongming’s eyes suddenly brightened upon hearing this.

”I actually forgot about this matter.”

It’s impossible for the Southern Border’s several Golden Core powers to act simultaneously without some shared information spreading among them.

Since Celestial Sandalwood Mountain is allied with the Shen Family and is a Purple Mansion influence in the Southern Border, they would naturally have news.

”I shall head to Beidi County now.”

...

”Patriarch Shen guessed correctly. Ancestor Changyou indeed sent news recently that a mysterious Golden Core Cultivator visited Celestial Sandalwood Mountain and spoke of many things about the Dao Source and spirits.”

In the Commandery City of Beidi County, Old Man Jin watched Shen Chongming in front of him and said solemnly, ”Ancestor Changyou believes the matter has already been mentioned to the Shen Family and Luoxia Mountain beforehand, so he didn’t instruct Master Shu to specifically notify you.”

”The elder is currently reorganizing the demon cultivators under the rule of the Celestial Sandalwood Mountain and plans to personally visit Elder Jiang and Elder Sword Immortal after descending upon Yangnao Land to discuss this.”

Shen Chongming realized upon hearing this.

”No wonder these major forces are all gathering their strengths to Yangnao Land without prior consultation.”

”Turns out they intend to seize spirits.”

Old Man Jin nodded, ”That mysterious person claimed there are a total of nine spirits in the complete Yangnao Land, and it’s known that Celestial Weary Golden Radiance has been acquired by the Longevity Pavilion.”

”Of the remaining eight spirits, only two are left in the Southern Border, and the rest six are in the present Yangnao Land.”

”Hence, many powers won’t hesitate to abandon everything in the Southern Border, going all out to gather all their strengths here.”

Upon hearing this, Shen Chongming frowned deeply.

He had seen the full map of Yangnao Land brought back by Shen Xiuchan from the Seven Sages Mountain Secret Realm and had heard his grandfather and third uncle mention spirits.

It was said that the complete Yangnao Land supposedly had only seven spirits.

And the current Yangnao Land only had four spirits, with the remaining three in the Southern Border.

Old Man Jin seemed to notice his confusion, sighed, and shook his head, ”The rumors from the Observing Heaven Pavilion did say there are only seven spiritual materials.”

”But right now, the most crucial issue is no longer the number of spirits.”

”With the emergence of world-destroying calamity rumors, all forces are vying for the opportunity to enter the Dao Source Secret Realm in the future.”

After a slight pause in his words, Old Man Jin stroked his long beard and said with a grave expression, ”It can be imagined that the upcoming Yangnao Land will definitely become chaotic.”
