Crafting an Immortal Race with Daily Hexagrams

”Li’Er has also achieved the Golden Core?”

”Where is she now?”

Shen Yuan felt a bit emotional after hearing this.

Shen Li, designated as the ”Qilin’Er” by the White Jade Turtle Shell, was gifted with a Sacred Body. From a young age, she had been cultivating the Witchcraft and Gu Dao within the family and has finally achieved the Golden Core now.

Moreover, from Shen Chongming’s description, it seems that Shen Li’s strength after breaking through to the Golden Core is not weak.

Shen Chongming cupped his hands, ”The message was just sent back three days ago, saying that she plans to go to Beidi County to look for some things, and asked her grandson not to worry about her.”

Shen Yuan nodded and said, ”Have your third uncle and Xu Zhan... still not any news?”

Shen Chongming shook his head, ”Aunt and a few Sword Immortals from the Cyan Ruo Sword House have already gone to find them, but there still hasn’t been any news.”

Seeing this, Shen Yuan’s mind shifted slightly, he immediately used the Power of Great Derivation to deduce a bit.

A moment later—

”No need to worry, the two of them are not in mortal danger.”

In this deduction, although he did not find the exact location of Shen Wen’an and Xu Zhan, he could confirm that both of them are still alive and not in any major disaster.

The four grandparents and grandchildren sat in silence for a moment, and the red clay stove on the side began to emit steaming heat. Shen Chongxuan got up to brew a pot of Spirit Tea, then poured a cup for everyone.

”Has Chongxuan now broken through to the Realm of the Four Apertures of the Literary Heart?”

Taking the tea cup, Shen Yuan spoke in a deep voice.

Shen Chongxuan cupped his hands slightly and smiled bitterly, ”I have disappointed grandfather, the grandson is still at the Three Apertures of the Literary Heart, having just nurtured the third Lifebound Character.”

The Three Apertures of the Literary Heart, nurturing the third Lifebound Character, is equivalent to the Peak of Fetal Breathing in the cultivation system of the Literary Dao.

Whereas the Four Apertures of the Literary Heart, a Literary Dao cultivator who successfully nurtures the fourth Lifebound Character, should have the strength of an Immortal Dao Golden Core.

”It’s alright, don’t be anxious.”

Shen Yuan took a sip of tea and said, ”Now, the Yangnao Land is in a time of turmoil, rites and music are collapsing, the world’s Literary Qi is thin, making it indeed difficult for you Literary Dao cultivators.”

Shen Chongxuan nodded.

There was nothing he could do about this either.

In today’s Yangnao Land, the Literary Qi supporting the Literary Dao is only found in the Shen Family and dozens of cities under Luoxia Mountain.

And most of the common people in these cities, because they are in a chaotic world, are more enthusiastic about the path of cultivation. Unless forced to, no one is willing to study the Literary Dao.

For the Literary Dao to prosper greatly, it needs a time of grand governance and prosperity.

”You brothers go ahead and get busy, I need to consolidate my cultivation.”

After chatting with his grandchildren for a moment, Shen Yuan spoke.

Shen Chongming and the others, upon hearing this, immediately got up, cupped their hands, and left the Black Water Pavilion.

...

Deep into the night, at Shen Chongxuan’s courtyard at the foot of the mountain.

In the study, as Shen Chongxuan was reading late into the night by lamplight, he suddenly sensed something, looked up towards the moonlit courtyard.

He suddenly discovered a thin figure wearing a moon-white robe, emitting a faint glow, standing in the pavilion in the courtyard.

Upon seeing this, Shen Chongxuan’s expression tightened, and he hurriedly rose to the courtyard.

The figure in the pavilion slowly turned around and respectfully cupped his hands, ”Uncle.”

Shen Chongxuan was stunned, then spoke with concern, ”Xiubai, what... what’s going on?”

This sudden appearance was none other than Shen Xiubai.

Shen Chongxuan could clearly feel that this Shen Xiubai in front of him did not truly exist, not even as a Divine Spirit.

It seemed to be some kind of mystic projection.

”Uncle, I’m fine.”

Shen Xiubai smiled faintly, then changed the subject, ”I came here to ask you for a favor.”

Suppressing the concern in his heart, Shen Chongxuan quickly said, ”If there is anything I can do, just say it.”

Shen Xiubai nodded slightly, then pointed a finger at Shen Chongxuan’s forehead.

”Danzhou?”

After perceiving the massive amount of information appearing in his mind, Shen Chongxuan furrowed his brows and muttered.

In front of him, Shen Xiubai’s expression was solemn, ”If this is accomplished, our Shen Family will not fear the downfall of the Dao in Yangnao Land, and we won’t have to rely on others, hiding in the Dao Source Secret Realm to eke out a living.”

”However, Uncle, you must be extremely careful when you go to Danzhou. All you need to do is plant the array bases at a few key locations, and the rest will be up to me.”

As he spoke, Shen Chongxuan noticed a rift in space suddenly appear in front of himself and Shen Xiubai.

Then, from the rift, seven objects resembling white jade lotus roots floated out slowly.

”Uncle, take these, they are the array bases.”

Shen Chongxuan glanced at the objects floating in front of him, then waved his hand and stored them all in his Storage Bag.

”Xiubai, you...”

Just as Shen Chongxuan had finished storing the array bases and was about to speak again, he found that the virtual image of Shen Xiubai in front of him had vanished without a trace.

”Xiubai?”

Shen Chongxuan stood in the courtyard, looking around, then called out gently, but he received no response.

After standing there for a moment, he could only shake his head and sigh, returning to his study.

Early the next morning, Shen Chongxuan got up early and found Shen Chongming.

”Brother Ming.”

After greeting him with cupped hands, he briefly recounted what happened last night.

Upon hearing this, Shen Chongming’s expression became somewhat grave, ”This time, you’re going to Danzhou alone...”

”Rest assured, Brother Ming, I will be exceedingly careful on this trip.” Shen Chongxuan smiled faintly and cupped his hands.

However, Shen Chongming shook his head slightly, ”The dangers of Danzhou are far from simple as you imagine.”

”Wait a moment, I will write a letter for you to carry.”

”When you reach Danzhou, present this letter to the senior at the Barrier.”

”If the senior agrees, you will have peace of mind to proceed.”

”If the senior doesn’t agree, after arriving in Danzhou, go to the Cyan Ruo Sword House and use Aunt’s Cyan Bamboo Sword as a token to see if you can ask a Sword Immortal from the Cyan Ruo Sword House to accompany you.”

After thinking it over carefully, Shen Chongxuan nodded slightly, ”That might work.”
