Crafting an Immortal Race with Daily Hexagrams

"So many responsibilities at home are all on your shoulders."

Shen Chongming heard this, smiled, and took her hand saying, "There’s also Xiuyan."

"Xiuyan has grown up, and now he can share many of the family’s matters with you."

Hu Yufen nodded with a smile, "Xiuyan is a good child."

"Alright, I won’t ask too much about family matters. You and Xiuyan surely know what you’re doing, I won’t add to the chaos."

While speaking, her gaze turned to Shen Xiusi and Shen Yuanque, who had gone off to play with the big black dog, and a deep reminiscence flashed in her eyes.

"Time passes so quickly. It seems in just the blink of an eye, you’re already a grandfather."

"These juniors, if they don’t visit the old house often, I’m afraid I won’t recognize them."

Upon hearing this, Shen Chongming also felt a sigh in his heart.

If it were ordinary people, having four generations under one roof would already be considered a rare joy. But now, the Shen Family has five generations together.

Among ordinary people, siblings within the five degrees of kinship might have long become distant, with many turning against each other and engaging in bitter struggles.

"In that case, I will set the rules afterward."

"In the future, these descendants should come over occasionally for you to see, so they can all get to know the ancestors of the Shen Family."

Shen Chongming said with a smile.

Hu Yufen was taken aback by this, quickly laughed, and waved her hand, "The children are all busy, don’t create trouble for them."

"Enough of that, it’s almost noon, and it’s rare for you all to be here today."

"Eldest’s family, go prepare some food, let’s have a meal together today."

Huang Lingxiu stood up and nodded, "Then, Mother, you sit here, I’ll go have a look."

"I’ll go help my sister-in-law."

Shen Wenping also suddenly stood up and hurried towards the kitchen following Huang Lingxiu.

It seems that she is interested in anything as long as it is not cultivation.

In the pavilion, Shen Chongming looked at his joyous family and felt a sense of longing.

This might be the reason for one generation after another in the family to tirelessly cultivate.

The entire Yangnao Land outside is already in chaos, yet Yunshui City remains unaffected, and the family in the old house can still live so harmoniously and warmly. It seems the hardship and exhaustion are all worthwhile.

...

Dragon-slaying Valley.

After Shen Wen’an and Xu Zhan slew that fat female cultivator from the Tribulation Fire Sect, their luck seemed to have run out.

Although Shen Wen’an has made preliminary progress in identifying nodes in the Myriad Dragons Array, the grand array covers the entire Dragon-slaying Valley, and the nodes are countless.

The uncle and nephew stopped and went for over a month, searching based on the nodes, but did not encounter any more cultivators from the Tribulation Fire Sect.

After once again investigating the nodes, Shen Wen’an slowly stood up.

Seeing Xu Zhan with a lack of interest and looking impatient, he couldn’t help but smile and say, "There are only eight cultivators from the Tribulation Fire Sect in the Dragon-slaying Valley, and we’ve already killed four."

"The fewer people there are, the lower the chances of encountering them."

"Don’t act like this, just take your time."

Xu Zhan sighed heavily and didn’t say a word, just quietly walked forward.

After the two continued onward for a few hours, when Shen Wen’an was about to again investigate the array’s energy flow to find the next node, Xu Zhan seemed to have heard something and immediately jumped into the thick ancient tree beside him!

Moments later, he whispered, "Third Uncle, there’s movement!"

Shen Wen’an heard this and immediately leapt into the tree, listening intently for a moment, and then heard faint sounds coming from the left front.

"Let’s go check it out!"

With only slight hesitation, Shen Wen’an said in a deep voice, and jumped down from the ancient tree, heading towards the source of the sound.

They had been wandering around Dragon-slaying Valley for almost a year.

Apart from the strange old monk from the Celestial Dragon Temple, they hadn’t encountered any other beings besides the Tribulation Fire Sect cultivators.

Now suddenly hearing what seemed like the sound of a fight was truly unexpected for them.

As the uncle and nephew rushed quickly, the fighting noises ahead became clearer and clearer.

"Such familiar Sword Intent..."

Running ahead, Shen Wen’an felt a fleeting wave of Sword Intent from afar, and his brows furrowed suddenly.

The Myriad Dragons Array can suppress Divine Sense, as well as significantly suppress Mental Realm attacks.

Just then, he vaguely sensed a wave of extremely familiar Sword Intent emanating from the distant battle.

But in just an instant, that Sword Intent was suppressed by the power of the Myriad Dragons Array, to the extent Shen Wen’an thought he was experiencing an illusion.

Meanwhile, within the dense forest over ten miles ahead and to the left of them.

Huang Lingshan and Liu Qixuan each wielded long swords, battling a strange child about three feet tall.

That child was naked except for a piece of black cloth around the waist, covering private parts.

Faced with the onslaught of two Golden Core Sword Immortals, Huang Lingshan and Liu Qixuan, the child was as slippery as an eel, continuously weaving through their sharp sword techniques.

After a prolonged attack, Liu Qixuan, being hot-tempered, couldn’t help but unleash his Great River Sword Intent.

But the moment the Sword Intent was used, it was immediately suppressed by the pervasive presence of the Myriad Dragons Array.

Making him jump in anger!

"Damned little monkey, what kind of creature are you!?"

"Your body seems boneless, invulnerable to blade and sword!"

"Don’t ever let me catch you, or I’ll skin you!"

Liu Qixuan cursed angrily while attacking.

Yet the three-foot-tall figure, child-like, continued to jump up and down, skillfully dodging.

"Senior Sister Lingshan!?"

"Senior Brother Liu!?"

While they were locked in battle, Shen Wen’an and Xu Zhan followed the sound and arrived.

Upon hearing his voice, Huang Lingshan immediately forced the strange child back with a sword attack and retreated with Liu Qixuan to a nearby spot.

"Ha!"

"Wen’an boy!"

"Finally found you!"

Seeing Shen Wen’an and Xu Zhan, Liu Qixuan was first stunned, then laughed and moved in front of them.

Shen Wen’an was also very happy.

"Senior Sister Lingshan, Senior Brother Liu, why are you here?"

Huang Lingshan smiled and began, "After the Yunmeng Marsh matter ended, we went to Yunshui City with the brothers."

"Chongming told us about you and Xu Zhan’s disappearance."

"Having nothing else to do, the six of us thought to come over and see what trouble you ran into."

"Who would have thought that after leaving Flame Lake City, we accidentally wandered into this valley and were spotted by a Nascent Soul True Monarch."

As soon as Huang Lingshan finished speaking, Liu Qixuan couldn’t wait and said, "Let’s save the reminiscing for later."

"Wen’an boy, you’re here just in time, join us to kill that damned little monkey!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Wen’an and Xu Zhan looked towards the strange child quietly observing them.

"Is this bare-bottomed little thing from the Tribulation Fire Sect?"

Seeing the child appearing only three or four years old, naked except for the black cloth around the waist, Xu Zhan couldn’t help but mutter.

Shen Wen’an was also puzzled and turned to Huang Lingshan, "How did you come across him, Senior Sister?"

Huang Lingshan glanced at the strange child and replied solemnly, "After we entered, we split up in pairs to search in order to find you quickly."

"I and Senior Brother Liu stumbled upon this place and saw him manipulating a strange pottery jar, seemingly performing some secret skill."

"When he noticed us, he immediately attacked."

Manipulating a pottery jar?

Shen Wen’an was surprised and looked at the strange child.

Unexpectedly, under his gaze, the child eerily smiled, "Fellow Daoist, we meet again."
