Crafting an Immortal Race with Daily Hexagrams

”Stay here, don’t wander around.”

As soon as the two landed, Shen Wen’an’s hand flashed, and he immediately took out an Array Plate he had retrieved from Huaisang County, and hurriedly activated it.

Immediately afterwards, he sat cross-legged and began cultivating.

Beside him, Shen Xiuyan glanced at him, understanding that this must be what is called ”enlightenment.”

”My strength is too weak; I need to find someone to protect Third Grandpa.”

After pondering, he immediately looked around to determine their location, then pinched a spell and flew away using Wind Manipulation.

Anyang City.

Ever since the Inner Five Elements Circulation Array was activated in Yunshui City, Zhao Tuan’s realm, stagnant for over a decade, finally showed signs of loosening.

After being in seclusion for a long time, he clearly felt that his realm would soon break through to the Qi Cultivation Perfection Realm.

In the room, Zhao Tuan was sitting cross-legged, deep in cultivation, when a sudden urgent knock on the door sounded.

Zhao Tuan frowned and awoke, speaking in a deep voice, ”Come in.”

As his words fell, the door was pushed open.

Already of middle age, with short whiskers on his lips, Zhao Tianqiu hurried into the room, respectfully clasping his hands, ”Father, Master Xiuyan is here from the Shen Family.”

Master Xiuyan?

Zhao Tuan listened, his face full of suspicion.

”I remember Master Xiuyan is still a child... Did he come by himself?”

Zhao Tianqiu nodded, ”Master Xiuyan indeed came by Wind Manipulation, specifically asking to see you, Father.”

”He seems very anxious...”

After a moment of thought, Zhao Tuan hurriedly got up.

”Take me to see.”

The father and son arrived at the side room in the front hall, seeing Shen Xiuyan pacing inside, hands behind his back, dressed in brocade.

”Zhao Tuan pays respects to Master Xiuyan.”

Shen Xiuyan’s replacement of Shen Xiuzhuo as the candidate for the Shen Family Patriarch was already known to the major affiliated families.

Therefore, despite Shen Xiuyan being only five or six years old, the patriarchs and elders of these affiliated families dared not neglect him.

”Uncle, please come with me quickly.”

Upon seeing Zhao Tuan, Shen Xiuyan hurriedly tugged at his sleeve to lead him outside.

Zhao Tuan wanted to inquire about what had happened, but seeing Shen Xiuyan’s anxious demeanor, he said nothing more, only instructed Zhao Tianqiu to guard Anyang City, then left with Shen Xiuyan to fly outside the city.

On the way, upon hearing that Shen Wen’an was currently in seclusion on a desolate mountain a hundred miles outside Anyang City for enlightenment, Zhao Tuan dared not delay and immediately quickened his pace.

The two arrived at the towering peak, Shen Xiuyan pointed to the summit, ”Third Grandpa is up there, I fear some reckless cultivators or demon beasts might disturb him, please protect him, Uncle.”

Zhao Tuan nodded, then directly took Shen Xiuyan to the summit and sat cross-legged not far from Shen Wen’an.

...

Yunzhong County City.

The backyard of the Sect Hall on Luoxia Mountain.

Wei Qiuling and Jiang Xiuqi sat facing each other.

”I wonder if my husband has returned from Danzhou, and how Cyan Ruo Sword House responded?”

”Tomorrow is the agreed day with Celestial Sandalwood Mountain, should Luoxia Mountain send people to Celestial Aromatic Mountain...”

Wei Qiuling spoke gravely.

Jiang Xiuqi was also full of dilemmas.

If Shen Wen’an’s request for help from Danzhou failed, then Luoxia Mountain and the Shen Family couldn’t tear apart their relations with Celestial Sandalwood Mountain now.

Otherwise, an enraged Celestial Sandalwood Mountain would definitely act against the two families, and with the current forces of the two families, they couldn’t possibly withstand the full attack from a Purple Mansion Influence.

But if they didn’t wish to sever ties, Luoxia Mountain would have to send a large number of disciples to their deaths tomorrow.

”Should I go back to Yunshui City and take a look?”

Wei Qiuling stood up and spoke.

”No rush.”

Jiang Xiuqi slowly raised his hand, signaling her to sit down, ”Qiuling, as the Sect Leader of Luoxia Mountain now, you mustn’t act impulsively, you need to be calm.”

”If Wen’an has returned from Danzhou, he will surely inform us at Luoxia Mountain first.”

”If he hasn’t returned yet, even if you go back to Yunshui City, there’s nothing you can do.”

Wei Qiuling sighed upon hearing this.

Indeed, all decisions at the moment awaited Shen Wen’an’s news.

”Wait a little longer.”

Seeing Wei Qiuling sit down again but still showing anxiety on her face, Jiang Xiuqi immediately comforted.

The two waited like this, soon it was evening.

”No way!”

”Master Uncle, I still plan to return to Yunshui City.”

”Even if Wen’an hasn’t returned, it’s best to discuss tomorrow’s matter with Eldest Brother.”

Wei Qiuling said, clasping her hands towards Jiang Xiuqi, then flew towards Yunshui City using Wind Manipulation.

...

”What!?”

”Wen’an didn’t go to Yunzhong County City?”

In the old mansion courtyard, Shen Wenxing looked at Wei Qiuling in surprise, ”I just returned from Black Water Pavilion, Father said after Wen’an came back, he went to Yunzhong County City not long after, and he took Xiuyan with him.”

Hearing this, Wei Qiuling was also stunned.

It’s only a thousand miles from Yunshui City to Yunzhong County City.

With Shen Wen’an at the Golden Core Sword Immortal Realm, his Sword Flight should allow him to arrive quickly, so how could he be unseen for most of the day?

”Could something have happened?”

Shen Wenxing’s face slightly changed, murmuring in a deep voice.

Wei Qiuling also felt a sinking heart but then shook her head, ”Wen’an is a Golden Core Sword Immortal; even if he encounters trouble, it can’t be that he has no ability to resist at all.”

”My Master Uncle and I have been waiting in Yunzhong County City, and my Master Uncle hasn’t detected any aura of a Golden Core Cultivator making a move.”

After a moment of silence, Shen Wenxing opened his mouth, ”Sister-in-law, for now, you should return to Yunzhong County City.”

”Father said Wen’an has already talked with Cyan Ruo Sword House, and they will come to support.”
