Crafting an Immortal Race with Daily Hexagrams

Inside the Black Water Pavilion.

Shen Yuan looked at Shen Xiubai with a peculiar expression.

”Great-grandfather, Xiubai wants to give it a try!”

Facing his gaze, Shen Xiubai’s face was full of anticipation.

Shen Yuan remained silent.

”Great-grandfather, please rest assured, with the Spirit Gathering Array within me, my cultivation won’t be hindered.”

”If this succeeds, whether they extract the Dao Source or not, our Shen Family will have nothing to fear.”

”Moreover... if Xiubai’s speculation is true, once our Shen Family becomes strong in the future...”

”Child...” Seeing Shen Xiubai deeply engrossed, Shen Yuan helplessly interrupted him, saying: ”Great-grandfather knows if I don’t agree, you won’t get past this hurdle, right?”

Shen Xiubai said nothing.

At this moment, his mind was indeed entirely occupied with the concept of the ’Five Elements Reincarnation.’ If he wasn’t allowed to continue researching, he wouldn’t be able to settle down for cultivation and would likely lose sleep and appetite.

Seeing his silence, Shen Yuan understood the answer.

After a moment of thought, he spoke: ”If you want to do it, then go ahead.”

”There’s still time to experiment now.”

”But there’s one thing you must remember.”

Upon hearing this, Shen Xiubai respectfully bowed: ”Please teach me, great-grandfather.”

Shen Yuan lowered his head solemnly and said: ”Great-grandfather hopes you remember that you bear the responsibility of the Array Dao renaissance for our Shen Family.”

”After the Dao collapse in Yangnao Land, regardless of the path our Shen Family takes, the world will become more brutal.”

”At that time, Hundred Skills of Cultivation will be the foundation for our Shen Family’s survival, do you understand?”

Shen Xiubai, lost in thought, then nodded: ”Xiubai understands, great-grandfather, rest assured.”

”If this path is unsuccessful, Xiubai will halt the losses in time and dedicate himself to understanding Array Dao to leave sufficient Array Dao legacy for our Shen Family.”

With his assurance, Shen Yuan secretly sighed.

He always advocated respecting the juniors’ preferences and supporting them in doing what they wanted to do as much as possible.

But the idea Shen Xiubai just mentioned was extremely uncanny.

This move, for him, was akin to the creation of the world.

Fortunately, having listened to his theories and speculations, there was some feasibility to the matter.

He might as well let him try.

”Great-grandfather, Xiubai takes his leave.”

After rising and bowing with respect, Shen Xiubai left the Black Water Pavilion.

Shen Yuan stood with his hands behind his back at the window of the Black Water Pavilion, watching the figure hastily descend the floating bridge, heading toward the rear hill.

”Sigh!”

”This child is good in every aspect, but he is somewhat impulsive; with such a temperament, I’m afraid he might cause major trouble in the future.”

”Who is father talking about?”

Just as his words fell, a beam of Sword Aura shot in from the window.

Upon hearing the sound, Shen Yuan slowly turned around, looking at Shen Wen’an, who was smiling not far away, and said solemnly: ”It seems the Danzhou journey went smoothly.”

Shen Wen’an went to the desk, lifted the teapot, poured himself a cup of cool tea, drank it, and said, ”It was relatively smooth.”

”However, the Black Tripod was not preserved.”

Shen Yuan slowly came to the seat in front of the desk and sat cross-legged.

”Sit and speak.”

Shen Wen’an nodded, sat opposite, and shared everything he learned during the Danzhou journey.

”Why does father think the elder places such importance on Beichen Immortal Mountain’s spirit?”

Shen Wen’an asked the doubt in his mind.

After a brief contemplation, Shen Yuan chuckled lightly: ”It’s easy to understand this matter.”

”From a mundane perspective, the Dao Source in Yangnao Land is akin to an Heirloom Seal of the Realm capable of commanding the world.”

”That Elder Luo and a group of Nascent Soul True Monarchs are like generals holding dominant troops.”

”They teamed up to make arrangements in Yangnao Land; the ultimate ownership of the Dao Source must be agreed upon.”

”Thus, it’s like a group of people intending to rebel, agreeing in advance who will become the Emperor after a successful rebellion, and that future Emperor must have also promised how to enfeoff others who contributed.”

With these words, Shen Wen’an understood.

”Father means that the elder is not satisfied with being a Duke who was enfeoffed, but wants to find a place to be an Emperor himself?”

Shen Yuan nodded.

”Perhaps the elder can rely on the spirit to find the location of Beichen Immortal Mountain.”

”In this way, occupying an empty Dao Source Secret Realm alone is far better than being a subordinate in someone else’s controlled Dao Source Secret Realm.”

Shen Wen’an was enlightened.

No wonder Elder Luo was so eager when he learned his bargaining chip wasn’t the spirit of Yangnao Land.

”As a Dao Source Secret Realm, North Star Immortal Mountain’s internal forces may have been extinct, but there are certainly many good things left behind, which is also what the elder values, right?”

Following this thought, Shen Wen’an thought of another idea by Elder Luo.

”There is indeed this meaning.”

Shen Yuan nodded in agreement.

As one of the three Ancient Dao Source Secret Realms, Three Immortal Mountains must have been extremely powerful at their peak.

As a world-gathering Ancient Immortal Sect, any remaining remnants, for current cultivators, would be a tremendous fortune.

No wonder Luo Tianxing would be tempted.

”Does father have any ideas about the Danzhou matter?”

Pouring a cup of tea and handing it to his father, Shen Wen’an suddenly shifted the topic.

”Danzhou?”

Shen Yuan picked up the teacup, slightly stunned, and said: ”Are you suggesting our Shen Family withdraw from Yangnao Land to Danzhou to avoid the Dao collapse?”

Shen Wen’an nodded: ”If the rumor mentioned by Senior Sister Lingshan is true, I suspect that when the Dao collapse truly occurs in Yangnao Land, Danzhou could escape unscathed.”

”If so, our Shen Family might not need to be so troublesome, nor consider entering the Dao Source Secret Realm.”

The anomaly caused by the Dao Source Secret Realm had been a thorn in his side.

After Yangnao Land’s Dao Collapse, unless forced into a life-and-death survival scenario, he hoped the Shen Family wouldn’t enter the Dao Source Secret Realm.
