Crafting an Immortal Race with Daily Hexagrams

"The Golden Nature is about to emerge."

Huang Lingshan murmured with a faint smile, "This is usually the perfect time for the Underworld to act."

"But now..."

She supposed the Underworld wouldn’t have imagined that sending twelve Yin Generals would result in total annihilation.

"Alright, it should be safe here now. I’ll head back to Yunmeng Marsh first."

"Once the spirit matters are settled, we’ll discuss finding your third uncle and the others in the Western Wilderness."

Huang Lingshan left Yunshui City.

In the void, Shen Li’s Golden Nature finally fully coalesced and immediately entered her body.

After absorbing the Golden Nature, her figure slowly descended from the void to stand before Shen Chongming.

Her smooth jade feet touched the ground, and Shen Li’s face showed a slight smile as she softly said, "Brother Chongming."

Shen Chongming nodded, "Congratulations, Li’Er, on achieving the Golden Core Dao."

As his words fell, both the Golden Toad and Silver Thread Centipede scurried over.

The Golden Toad’s words were filled with flattery.

"Congratulations to the master on your great fortune, achieving the Golden Core Dao!"

Shen Li gently kicked him over, then looked at Shen Chongming, "Brother Chongming, now that I’ve broken through to the Golden Core, I’d like to go out for a walk."

"I’ll rely on you and Xiuyan to handle the matters in the Clan Court."

Go for a walk?

Shen Chongming said with concern, "How about waiting for grandfather to come out of seclusion before discussing it with him personally?"

In the past, Shen Yuan had always advised Shen Li to focus on cultivating peacefully at home and not venture out.

Shen Chongming also believed that with Shen Li’s talent, she would eventually become one of the strongest pillars of the Shen Family by cultivating steadily at home.

This was demonstrated when she had just slain the Yin Generals of the Underworld.

Given the increasingly chaotic situation outside, the Golden Core couldn’t guarantee absolute safety, and he actually didn’t want Shen Li to take the risk of going out.

Shen Li thought for a moment and shook her head, "It’s unknown when grandfather will come out of seclusion."

"Rest assured, Brother Chongming, I’ll just be walking around Yangnao Land, not causing trouble."

Seeing her insistence, Shen Chongming couldn’t say much more.

"In that case... when do you plan to leave?"

Shen Li thought for a moment, "Tomorrow."

Shen Chongming nodded, "When you were breaking through earlier, Aunt came by."

"I was worried she might get hurt by the Underworld, so I had her go back first."

"Now that you’ve successfully broken through, go back and see her."

Shen Li nodded.

"By the way, what method did you use to slay the Underworld’s people earlier?"

Regarding the Underworld, Shen Chongming couldn’t resist his curiosity and asked.

Shen Li slowly raised her hand without speaking.

As he watched her slender, white palm, Shen Chongming was curious, but then he saw a trace of green light emanating from her palm, and soon after, a small insect, entirely green and seemingly carved from jade, emerged from her flesh.

"This is the Celestial Capital Grass Sword Insect."

"The reason I want to go out for a walk is to find something for it to advance."

After a pause, Shen Li continued, "If the Celestial Capital Grass Sword Insect can transform from its larval stage to its growth stage, my strength will increase further."

Hearing this, Shen Chongming looked at the peculiar insect in her hand, resembling a small jade sword, and murmured, "You’re saying this little one is still in the larval stage!?"

Shen Li petted the Celestial Capital Grass Sword Insect with her finger and nodded, "In the growth stage, the Celestial Capital Grass Sword Insect will be much more formidable than it is now."

She tapped its tiny head with her fingertip, retrieved it into her body, and asked Shen Chongming, "I heard Brother Chongming say that Third Uncle and Brother Xu Zhan are missing?"

Shen Chongming nodded and briefly recounted the story of Third Uncle Shen Wen’an and Xu Zhan heading to Flame Lake City.

Shen Li listened and appeared thoughtful.

After a moment—

"If that’s the case, and it’s on my way, I’ll go to Flame Lake City to see if I can find any clues."

"Brother Chongming, I’ll go see Aunt now, and tomorrow I won’t bid farewell to you."

With a slight bow, Shen Li immediately flew towards the back mountain.

...

Western Wilderness, Dragon-slaying Valley.

In front of a fallen ancient tree, Shen Wen’an sat cross-legged on the ground, constantly mobilizing the Primordial Essence Tree in his Sea of Consciousness to release pure Power of Life to heal Xu Zhan’s injuries.

The area around the two was in a state of disarray, and not far away lay three mangled corpses.

Forced by Feng Jingyang, who was in the Nascent Soul True Monarch Realm, to do hard labor, they came to the valley to capture the eight cultivators from the Tribulation Fire Sect who had infiltrated it, unable to resist.

Moreover, the Shen Family and the Tribulation Fire Sect already had grievances, and Shen Wen’an didn’t believe Feng Jingyang’s previous statement that "if the Tribulation Fire Sect destroys the Dragon-slaying Valley’s Array, the Shen Family would be the first to suffer."

But he understood one principle well.

The more the enemy wants to do something, the more it should be stopped from succeeding.

The Tribulation Fire Sect must be plotting something significant to risk death by breaking into a place guarded by a Nascent Soul True Monarch.

And if Xu Zhan and he could indeed thwart their plans, it would naturally be a good thing.

Furthermore, the old geezer Feng Jingyang also said that if they could complete this task, he would offer them a great opportunity.

No matter what, the old man is still a Nascent Soul True Monarch, and even if there’s some exaggeration, he probably wouldn’t go back on his word.

Under the nourishment of the Primordial Essence Tree’s pure Power of Life, Xu Zhan’s injuries quickly stabilized.

After finishing the healing, Xu Zhan looked at the scabbed wound on his chest, slowly stood up, and said, "Damn it, they really hit hard!"
